Definition

In the context of rotational motion, I(new) represents the moment of inertia of an object after a change in its mass distribution or shape.

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.
