In standard textbooks of college physics, the Work Energy Theorem is usually presented for inertial frames of references and it is clear that energy is conserved when there is not net work of interaction forces. But what happens when energy and work are calculated in a non inertial frame of reference? This important issue is frequently avoided. Recently an extension of the theorem was derived for reference systems in traslational motion. Here we address the theorem for two observers in relative rotation showing explicitly the differences for them. We illustrate the problem with practical examples.
