The kinetic energy of rotation is given by the formula:

KE = 0.5 * I * ω^2

where KE is the kinetic energy, I is the mass moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity in rad/s.

We can rearrange this formula to solve for ω:

ω = sqrt((2 * KE) / I)

Substituting the given values:

ω = sqrt((2 * 21 joules) / 0.45 kg⋅m^2) = sqrt(93.33 rad^2/s^2) = 9.66 rad/s

To convert this to rpm (revolutions per minute), we use the conversion factor 60/(2π):

ω = 9.66 rad/s * 60/(2π) = 92.2 rpm

So the speed of rotation is approximately 92.2 rpm.
