The Calculation of the total motion energy of a moving object is based on knowing What mass change has occured while Power was transfered to give it its motion..
The formula is as follows;
Delta M= mass changes
C= standard speed of light
Ek=Kinetic Energy of the object in motion
It does not matter if the motion is linear or non linear.
Ek=( Delta M) x C^2
The Power Tansferred to cause the object to move is equal to the product of the kinetic energy and the frequency of oscillation of the moving objecd.

Total KE = Rotational KE + Linear KE
Linear KE = 1/2mv^2 ,where m = mass and v = linear velocity
Rotational KE = 1/2Iw^2, where I = moment of inertia and w = angular velocity

Sum it up. Rotational is a bit complex since you need to know how the mass of the object is distributed.
