Lesson: Moment of Inertia High School Physics

Which of the following correctly shows the SI unit for the moment of inertia?

Which of the following formulas correctly relates the moment of inertia of an object, , to the mass of the object, , and the distance of the object from the axis around which it rotates, ?

A thin hoop has a radius of 1.25 m and a mass of 750 g. The hoop can rotate around an axis that intersects the hoop at the points A and B, as shown by the blue arrow in the diagram. The hoop can also rotate around an axis that intersects the midpoint of the line from A to B and does not intersect the hoop, as shown by the orange arrow. What is the difference in the moment of inertia of the hoop around these two axes?
