Definition
Moment of inertia, denoted by the letter I, is another name for rotational inertia. It is associated with an object that is rotating about its center, or an axis. The moment of inertia for any rotating objects must be specified with respect to a chosen axis of rotation due to the varying distance r. The moment of inertia corresponds to mass for translational/linear motion. [1] [1]
