Moment of Inertia 1. Abstract The goal of this study is to understand the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy of rotation and kinetic energy of translation. The moment of inertia of the cross arm my group measured with the conservation of energy equation is: 0.01044 kg/m2 (with the mass of 15g)‚ 0.01055 kg/m2 (with the mass of 30g)‚ which is kind of similar to the standard magnitude of the moment of inertia of the cross arm: 0.0095 kg/m2 (Gotten by measuring the radius and the mass

MOMENT OF INERTIA Chua‚ Richard Janssen J.‚ PHY11L/A3 chardsenchua77@yahoo.com Abstract The moment of inertia‚ or also known as the rotational inertia‚ is the rotational analog of a rigid body to a linear or an angular motion. It is one of the fundamentals of the dynamics of rotational motion. The moment of inertia must always be in a specified chosen axis of rotation. The point of motion is basically defined as the relationship between mass and the perpendicular distance to the rotational
