The measure of an object's resistance to a change in its rotational motion about an axis is called inertia. It is similar to an object's resistance to a change in its linear motion, but it specifically refers to rotational motion. The greater an object's inertia, the more difficult it is to change its rotational motion.

What is the rotational analog of mass in linear motion?

The rotational analog of mass in linear motion is moment of inertia. It represents an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion, similar to how mass represents an object's resistance to changes in its linear motion.


What is different between inertia and moment of inertia?

The ability of a body to maintain its state, either in motion or in rest position against any external force is called Inertia while the moment of inertia is defined as the measure of an object's resistance to any change in its state of rotation.


What objects that have high resistance are good called?

Insulators


Why moment of inertia is called rotational inertia?

That's what it's all about: about rotation. The "inertia" part is because it is comparable to the linear inertia: that's what makes it difficult to change an object's rotation.


A change in a objects velocity is called?

either resistance or inertia


What is the measure of resistance to motion?

The measure of resistance to motion is called friction. It is caused by the contact and interaction between surfaces that impedes the movement of objects across those surfaces. Frictional force opposes the direction of motion and is influenced by factors such as the nature of the surfaces and the force pressing them together.


What device is used to measure the resistance of a resistor?

You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.


What is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of currenet called?

The measure of how much a material opposes the flow of current is called resistance. It is measured in ohms and is represented by the symbol Ω.


What is rotational kinematics?

Rotational kinematics is the study of the motion of objects that spin or rotate around an axis. It involves concepts such as angular velocity, angular acceleration, and rotational analogs of linear motion equations like displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Rotational kinematics helps describe how objects move and rotate in a circular path.


Compute resistance for a circuit with resistance of 10 us?

This question makes no sense. You are asking for resistance and then saying the resistance is 10 us. "US" is not a measure of resistance. The measure is called Ohms. Ohm's Law states that Voltage = Current x Resistance Hence Resistance = Volts divided by Amps.


What is rotational force called?

Torque


What do we call an objects resistance in speed or direction?

The resistance to a change in velocity is called "inertia". It is related to the mass of an object.
