Tells how much “work” is required to get object spinning. Just like mass tells you how much “work” is required to get object moving. 2 Ktran = ½ m v Linear Motion ω2 Krot = ½ I Rotational Motion
Σ 2 2 I = miri (units kg m )
Note! Rotational Inertia depends on what you are spinning about (basically the ri in the equation).
Physics 101: Lecture 13, Pg 4 13 RotationalRotational InertiaInertia TableTable For objects with finite number of masses, use I = Σ m r 2. For “continuous” objects, use table below.
Physics 101: Lecture 13, Pg 5 33 MerryMerry GoGo RoundRound Four kids (mass m) are riding on a (light) merry-go-round rotating with angular velocity ω=3 rad/s. In case A the kids are near the center (r=1.5 m), in case B they are near the edge (r=3 m). Compare the kinetic energy of the kids on the two rides.

Rotating objects have kinetic energy KE = ½ I ω2
Moment of Inertia I = Σ mr 2 Depends on Mass Depends on axis of rotation
Energy is conserved but need to include ω2 rotational energy too Krot = ½ I
