Answer:
True
Explanation:
<u>Rotational and linear motions are analogous to each other.</u>
<u>The inertia of a body in a linear motion is its mass.</u> This can be seen from Newton's second law of thermodynamics:
F = ma
The larger the value of the force, the larger the inertia is (m) and the slower it accelerates.
<u>The inertia of a body in a rotational body is it moment of inertia (I).</u> Both I and m are same but I depends on both the shape and mass of the rotating body.
For example, The inertia of a solid disk with mass M and radius R is:
Hence, the statement is true.
