Document Summary
Only canadian gold medalist london olympics 2012. The smaller the inertia, the easier to acceleration. Think of it as an angular mass. Inertia is the equivalent to mass how difficult it is to change something"s state of motion. Moment of inertia can have values applied to it. Angular = amount of torque is equal to amount of inertia multiplied by angular acceleration. The more torque, the more angular acceleration. Plays a large roll in newton"s 2nd law. Your resistance to spinning is related to your mass and the rate at which your mass is spinning. The difference between these two: when we talk about r (radius), we talk about symmetrical objects but when we talk about k, objects that are very uneven. Distance from the axis of rotation to a precise point on a rotating system. Distance from the axis of rotation to a point where all the mass is.
