Moment of Inertia

A measure of an object's resistance to rotational acceleration.

Moment of Inertia for a Point Mass

The moment of inertia of a point mass is equal to the product of its mass and the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.

Moment of Inertia for a Rigid Body

The moment of inertia of a rigid body is the sum of the moments of inertia of all its constituent particles.

Moment of Inertia for a System of Particles

The moment of inertia of a system of particles is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of each particle about the axis of rotation.

Physical Significance of Moment of Inertia

It is a measure of how difficult it is to change the angular velocity of an object. The larger the moment of inertia, the greater the resistance to change in angular velocity.

Study Notes

Question 1 (a)

  • Electromagnetic force range: Extremely broad, encompassing a wide range of interactions.

Question 1 (b)

  • Resistance formula: R = V/I
  • Given values: V = (100 ± 5) volts, I = (10 ± 0.2) amperes
  • Percentage error calculation needed for R

Question 1 (c)

  • Bodies with same momentum, but different masses: The lighter body has a larger kinetic energy.

Other Questions (Page 2)

  • List of questions on different physics topics (moment of inertia, Stokes' law, mean free path, spring constant, minimum distance between node/antinode, dimensional analysis, particle position, projectile motion, etc.)

Question 2 (a)

  • Van der Waals' equation: (P + a/V²)(V - b) = RT
  • Variables: P (pressure), V (volume), T (temperature), R (gas constant), a and b (constants)
  • Dimensions of 'a' and 'b' need calculation

Question 2 (c)

Questions (Page 3)

  • List of physics questions related to linear/angular velocity, torque, momentum, angular momentum, relationship between gravity/universal gravitational constant, impulse, pressure

Question 3 (a)
