    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.
