What is another word for moment of inertia?
Pronunciation: [mˈə͡ʊmənt ɒv ɪnˈɜːʃə] (IPA) 
Moment of inertia is a term used to describe an object's resistance to rotational motion. Other synonyms for this term include rotational inertia, angular inertia or moment of rotational inertia. The moment of inertia of an object depends on the distribution of mass around the axis of rotation, where the mass that's farther away from the axis of rotation will have more moment of inertia compared to those that are closer. In physics, moment of inertia plays an essential role in understanding the behavior of solid objects in rotational motion, such as tops, planets, and gyroscopes. Its precise measurement can also provide valuable information about an object's structure and composition.
