Intro to Moment of Inertia definitions Flashcards

Resistance to changes in rotational velocity, dependent on mass and distance from the axis of rotation.

Movement of an object around a central axis, involving angular velocity and acceleration.

Rate of change of angular velocity, influenced by the moment of inertia.

An object with negligible size, treated as if all its mass is concentrated at a single point.

An object with a definite shape and size, not deforming under rotational motion.

The line around which an object rotates, crucial in determining the moment of inertia.

Energy due to the rotation of an object, dependent on its moment of inertia and angular velocity.

Property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, whether linear or rotational.

An idealized rod with no mass, used in problems to simplify calculations of moment of inertia.

An axis at a right angle to a given plane, often used in calculating rotational dynamics.

Unit of moment of inertia, derived from mass in kilograms and distance squared in meters.

Another term for moment of inertia, emphasizing its role in resisting rotational changes.

The perpendicular distance from a point mass to the axis of rotation, affecting moment of inertia.

Conceptual equivalent of mass in rotational motion, represented by the moment of inertia.

Common representation of moment of inertia formulas, often involving a fraction of mass times distance squared.
