Rotational Motion

Rotational Inertiaits resistance to rotate

The greater the rotational inertia, the more difficult it is to
change the
rotational speed of an object
The law of inertia applies to rotating objects (Newtons 1st Law)
An object rotating about an internal axis tends to keep rotating
about that axis
Rotating objects tend to keep rotating, while non-rotating objects
tend to
remain non-rotating
The resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion is
called
rotational inertia (sometimes moment of inertia)
Rotate easier around a longitudinal axis
L= I x
Angular Momentum= rotational inertia x rotational velociry
