A wheel of mass 2 kg having practically all the mass concentrated along the circumference of a circle of radius 20 cm, is rotating on its axis with an angular velocity of 100 rad/s. The rotational kinetic energy of the wheel is
Work-
For translation motion
$
W=\int F d s
$
So for rotational motion
$
W=\int \tau d \theta
$
Rotational kinetic energy-
The energy of a body has by virtue of its rotational motion is called its rotational kinetic energy.

Power =Rate of change of kinetic energy
For translation motion $P=\vec{F} \cdot \vec{V}$
So for rotational motion
$
P=\frac{d\left(K_R\right)}{d t}=\frac{d\left(\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\right)}{d t}=I \omega \frac{d \omega}{d t}=I \alpha \omega=\tau \cdot \omega
$
Or $P=\vec{\tau} \cdot \vec{\omega}$
