Moment of inertia is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. So basically it's the object's resistance to a rotational acceleration. This relates to Newton's first law! What does that exactly mean? Let's check out the explanation.
One formula that it is written in is I= mr
Explanation:
As Bill Nye says, "Inertia is a property of matter. Objects that are not moving don't move unless they get pushed or pulled. Moving objects keep moving unless they get pushed or pulled. This feature of objects and materials is what we call inertia."
a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each particle in the body with the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.
In simpler terms Moment of inertia also called "angular mass" (kg. · m2), is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. It is a rotating body's resistance to angular acceleration or deceleration, equal to the product of the mass and the square of its perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.
In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
