The three pages comprehensively detail the kinetic energy ($T$) of a coupled mass system (e.g., a mass $m_1$ moving on a horizontal plane connected by a string through a hole to a second mass $m_2$ moving vertically). The first defines the kinetic energy of the mass on the plane as $T_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 (\dot{r}^2 + r^2 \dot{\phi}^2)$, which includes both radial ($\dot{r}$) and angular ($\dot{\phi}$) velocity components in polar coordinates. The second states that the kinetic energy of the vertically moving mass is simply $T_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2 \dot{r}^2$, as its speed is purely vertical and equal to the radial speed ($\dot{r}$) of $m_1$ due to the fixed string length. Finally, the third combines these to give the total kinetic energy of the system: $T = \frac{1}{2}(m_1 + m_2)\dot{r}^2 + \frac{1}{2}(m_1 r^2) \dot{\phi}^2$, which groups the terms by the generalized velocities ($\dot{r}$ and $\dot{\phi}$) and identifies the coefficients as the diagonal components of the Generalized Inertia Tensor ($M_{rr} = m_1+m_2$ and $M_{\phi\phi} = m_1 r^2$).
