Answer:

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
x^(2)

Step-by-step 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."

I would check out Dan Fullerton's concept

and Organic Chemistry

Answer:

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.
