Moment Of Inertia Of Rigid Body

Assertion : The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value, when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of gravity. Reason : The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of gravity.

Does the moment of inertia of a rigid body change with the axis of rotation?

A wheel of mass 10 kg has a moment of inertia of 160 kg-m^(2) about its own axis, the radius of gyration will be

Then moment of inertia of a rigid body depends on (A) mass of body (B) position of axis of rotation (C) time period of its rotation (D) angular velocity of the body

The moment of inertia of a rigid body is not unique , about a given axis. The moment of inertia of a rigid depends on axis about which it has to be calculated.

The moment of inertia of a rigid body in terms of its angular momentum L and kinetic energy K is

The moment of inertia of rigid body depends only on the mass of the body, its shape and size. Moment of inertia I = MR^2 where M is the mass of the body and R is the radius vector.

The rotational kinetic energy of a body is E. In the absence of external torque, the mass of the body is halved and its radius of gyration is doubled. Its rotational kinetic energy is
