Aug 2, 2024 · Moment of inertia, in physics, quantitative measure of the rotational inertia of a body—i.e., the opposition that the body exhibits to having its speed of rotation about an axis altered by the application of a torque (turning force).

Law of inertia, postulate in physics that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This law is also the first of Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion.

Aug 2, 2023 · Moment of inertia, also known as rotational inertia or angular mass, is a physical quantity that resists a rigid body’s rotational motion. It is analogous to mass in translational motion. It determines the torque required to rotate an object by a given angular acceleration.
Professor John H. Lienhard points out the Mozi – based on a Chinese text from the Warring States period (475–221 BCE) – as having given the first description of inertia. [ 9 ] Before the European Renaissance, the prevailing theory of motion in western philosophy was that of Aristotle (384–322 BCE). On the surface of the Earth, the ...
Jun 13, 2013 · The moment of inertia naturally arises when trying to account for the energy of motion of a rotating object. Break the object up into small parts with mass $m_i$. The kinetic energy of part $i$ is $$K_i = \frac{1}{2}m_i v_i^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_i r_i^2\omega^2,$$ where $r_i$ is the distance from mass $i$ to the axis of rotation and where $\omega ...
The moment of inertia is the rotational counterpart of mass. It takes into account not only the total mass of the body, but also how far the mass is distributed from the axis of rotation: a body will have a higher moment of inertia if it has a higher mass, or if more of the mass is distributed farther from the rotation axis.
