"Mass moment of inertia" or "Moment of inertia" refers to a measure of an object's resistance to angular acceleration about a specific axis of rotation. The mass moment of inertia is determined by the distribution of an object's mass relative to the axis of rotation, where an increase in mass at a greater distance from the axis results in a higher moment of inertia. The mass moment of inertia may be used to quantify how mass is spatially arranged and how that arrangement affects the rotational dynamics of an object. The mass moment of inertia is typically expressed in units of kilogram meter squared. (Defined in conjunction with ChatGPT Version 4o, March 12, 2025.)
