The moment of inertia of a body depends on the mass distribution. the torque acting on the body. the angular acceleration. the angular velocity
Pritesh R.
Which of the following quantities does the moment of inertia depend on (select all that apply)? The amount of mass M the object has. The torque Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„ applied to the object. The distribution of the object's mass relative to the rotational axis. The object's angular velocity Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„. The object's angular acceleration Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„Ě„.
Ivan K.
Which one of the following statements concerning the moment of inertia I is true? I depends on the angular acceleration of the object as it rotates. I does not depend on the location of the rotation axis relative to the particles that make up the object. Of the particles that make up an object, the particle with the smallest mass may contribute the greatest amount to I. I does not depend on the orientation of the rotation axis relative to the particles that make up the object. I may be expressed in units of kg/m^2.
