Translational Kinetic energy is an energy of a body moving in a straight line.
Ke=0.5 m V^2
m- mass
V - velocity(linear velocity/speed)
We may also have a rotational kinetic energy
Ker=0.5 I w^2
I- moment of inertia about particular axis of rotation
w- angular velocity.
A cylinder rolling down a hill would have potential energy, translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy.
E(total)=Pe+Ke+Ker
where Pe= mgh
m- mass
g- acceleration due to gravity
h - its height on the hill as it is rolling down.
