What is moment of inertia?
Q: What is moment of inertia?
A: Moment of inertia is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation.
Q: What is another name for moment of inertia?
A: Another name for moment of inertia is "angular mass".
Q: What is the unit of measurement for moment of inertia?
A: The unit of measurement for moment of inertia is kg·m2.
Q: What is the significance of moment of inertia?
A: Moment of inertia represents a rotating body's resistance to angular acceleration or deceleration.
Q: What is the equation for calculating moment of inertia?
A: The equation for calculating moment of inertia is I = mr^2, where m is the mass of the rotating body and r is the radius measured perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.
Q: How does the mass affect moment of inertia?
A: The mass of the rotating body affects moment of inertia directly, as it is a part of the equation for calculating moment of inertia.
Q: How does the radius affect moment of inertia?
A: The radius of the rotating body affects moment of inertia indirectly, as it is multiplied by the square of its value in the equation for calculating moment of inertia.
