Parallel Axis Theorem
A method to calculate the moment of inertia about an axis parallel to one through the center of mass. Moment of Inertia
A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation, dependent on the axis of rotation. Rotational Dynamics
The study of the motion of objects that rotate about an axis. Center of Mass
The point in a body or system where the mass is evenly distributed and about which the body rotates. Torque
The rotational analog of force, causing an object to rotate about an axis. Angular Acceleration
The rate of change of angular velocity over time. Axis of Rotation
An imaginary line around which an object rotates. Uniform Distribution
A condition where mass is evenly spread throughout an object. Geometric Shapes
Simple forms like spheres, discs, and rods, often used in physics problems. Non-standard Moments
Moments of inertia calculated for axes not through the center of mass. Thin Rod
A slender, elongated object used in physics to study rotational inertia. Rim
The outer edge of a circular object, such as a disc. Homogeneous
Having a uniform composition or structure throughout. Distance Squared
The square of the distance between two points, used in inertia calculations. Least Common Denominator
The smallest number that is a common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.
