A long point-object, mass = 1.0 kg, moves in a circular path at a radial distance = 0.5 m from the axis of rotation. What is the

Vinvika [58]

Answer: $0.25\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given

mass of Point object $m=1 kg$

Distance $r=0.5 m$

Since mass is moving in circular path therefore every time mass is at distance of r from center .

Also Moment of Inertia tells about the distribution of mass over the given region with respect to center of mass.

Therefore $I=mr^2$

$I=1\times 0.5^2$

$I=0.25\ kg-m^2$
