Related terms
Moment of Inertia (I): Moment of inertia measures an object's resistance to changes in rotational motion. It depends on both mass distribution and shape.
Mass Distribution: Mass distribution refers to how an object's mass is spread out or concentrated. It affects various properties like center of mass and moment of inertia.
Shape: The shape of an object can greatly impact its moment of inertia. Different shapes distribute their masses differently, affecting rotational motion properties.
