mass moment of inertia
1Moment of inertia — This article is about the moment of inertia of a rotating object, also termed the mass moment of inertia. For the moment of inertia dealing with the bending of a beam, also termed the area moment of inertia, see second moment of area. In… …
2Moment of inertia — Moment Mo ment, n. [F. moment, L. momentum, for movimentum movement, motion, moment, fr. movere to move. See {Move}, and cf. {Momentum}, {Movement}.] 1. A minute portion of time; a point of time; an instant; as, at that very moment. [1913… …
3polar moment of inertia — The resistance of an object to rotational acceleration. When the mass of an object is distributed far from its axis of rotation, the object is said to have a high polar moment of inertia. When the mass distribution is close to the axis of… …
4moment of inertia — Date: 1830 a measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis that is equal to the sum of the products of each element of mass in the body and the square of the element s distance from the axis …
5moment of inertia — Physics. the sum of the products of the mass and the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation of each particle in a body rotating about an axis. [1820 30] * * * …
6moment of inertia — mo′ment of iner′tia n. phs the sum of the products of the mass and the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation of each particle in a body rotating about an axis • Etymology: 1820–30 …
7moment of inertia — noun a measure of an object s resistance to changes to its rotation; the sum of the products of the mass of each element of a body and the square of its distance from an axis about which the body rotates …
