An oxygen molecule (O2) rotates in the xy-plane about the z-axis. The axis of rotation passes through the center of the molecule, perpendicular to its length. The mass of each oxygen atom is 2.66·10‒26 kg, and the average separation between the two atoms is d = 1.21·10‒10 m.
a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the molecule about the z-axis.
b) If the angular speed of the molecule about the z-axis is 4.60·1012rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy?
