  2. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia depends on how mass is distributed around an axis of rotation, and will vary depending on the chosen axis. For a point-like mass, the moment of inertia about some axis is given by , where is the distance of the point from the axis, and is the mass. For an extended rigid body, the moment of inertia is just the sum of all ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    The moments of inertia of a mass have units of dimension ML 2 ([mass] × [length] 2). It should not be confused with the second moment of area, which has units of dimension L 4 ([length] 4) and is used in beam calculations. The mass moment of inertia is often also known as the rotational inertia, and sometimes as the angular mass.

    As a detailed example, ammonia has a moment of inertia I C = 4.4128 × 10 −47 kg m 2 about the 3-fold rotation axis, and moments I A = I B = 2.8059 × 10 −47 kg m 2 about any axis perpendicular to the C 3 axis. Since the unique moment of inertia is larger than the other two, the molecule is an oblate symmetric top.

  5. Second moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area

    In physics, moment of inertia is strictly the second moment of mass with respect to distance from an axis: =, where r is the distance to some potential rotation axis, and the integral is over all the infinitesimal elements of mass, dm, in a three-dimensional space occupied by an object Q. The MOI, in this sense, is the analog of mass for ...

  9. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    An example is the calculation of the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth. As the Earth has a sidereal rotation period of 23.93 hours, it has an angular velocity of 7.29 × 10 −5 rad·s −1. [2] The Earth has a moment of inertia, I = 8.04 × 10 37 kg·m 2. [3] Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.14 × 10 29 J.
