are you trying to say they are the same?

because I get for the translational - .5m(v/r)r^2 and for the rotational .5mr^2(v/r)^2, which arent the same

d. 3pi/2 rad
e. 2pi rad
Ok, so I found this exact question on the net and it said the answer was between pi and 3pi/2 rads - but it cant be both answers
