A long point-object, mass = 1.0 kg, moves in a circular path at a radial distance = 0.5 m from the axis of rotation. What is the moment of inertia of the point mass? Give your answer 3 significant figures.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]0.25\ kg-m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

mass of Point object [tex]m=1 kg[/tex]

Distance [tex]r=0.5 m[/tex]

Since mass is moving in circular path therefore every time mass is at distance of r from center .

Also Moment of Inertia tells about  the distribution of mass over the given region with respect to center of mass.

Therefore [tex]I=mr^2[/tex]

[tex]I=1\times 0.5^2[/tex]

[tex]I=0.25\ kg-m^2[/tex]
