(physics, classical mechanics) A measure of a rigid body's resistance to change in its angular velocity around a given axis.
Flywheels have large moments of inertia to smooth out changes in rates of rotational motion.
(physics, classical mechanics) A measure of a rigid body's resistance to change in its angular velocity around a given axis.
Spinning figure skaters can reduce their moment of inertia by pulling in their arms, allowing them to spin faster due to conservation of angular momentum.
(physics, classical mechanics) A measure of a rigid body's resistance to change in its angular velocity around a given axis.
Moment of Inertia of a thin rod about an axis perpendicular to the length of the rod and passing through its center.
