Newton's first law of motion is an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by another force. Driving at 30 mph in a car is going to stay constant until you crash the car into a wall, stopping the car.
Answer:
I = 97.2 10³⁶ kg m²
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of a body the expression of inertia in the rotational movement and is described by the expression
I = ∫ r² dm
In this problem we are told to use the moment of inertia of a uniform sphere, the expression of this moment of inertia is
I = 2/5 M r²
where m is the mass of the earth and r is the radius of the earth.
Let's calculate
I = 2/5 5.97 10²⁴ (6.38 10⁶)²
I = 97.2 10³⁶ kg m²
