Study Notes
Moment of Inertia
- The moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion.
Factors Affecting Moment of Inertia
- The moment of inertia depends on the mass of the object, the shape of the object, and the distribution of mass within the object.
Objects with High Moment of Inertia
- The object with the highest moment of inertia would be one that has a large mass and a large radius, such as a hoop or a cylinder.
Effect of Mass on Moment of Inertia
- If the mass of an object is doubled while keeping its shape and size constant, the moment of inertia will increase by a factor of two.
