Additional Information:

I couldn't get your question very clearly. In order to solve the question, I will define moment of inertia, state the formula and factors that the moment of inertia of a body depends and does not depend on.

Answer:

Moment of inertia depends on;

1. Mass of the body

2. Axis of rotation and

3. Distribution of the body

Moment of inertia does not depend on;

1. Angular velocity of the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined as a quantity that determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration or a property of a body due to which it resists angular acceleration about a rotational axis.

Moment of Inertia, I = ∑mr²

Where,

I is the moment of Inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance from the axis of the rotation

The moment of inertia of a body depends on distribution of body, axis of rotation and mass of the body. However, the moment of Inertia of a body is not dependent on angular velocity of the body.
