Which of these statements is not correct

Correct answer: C. Momentum of inertia does not depend on the mass of the body.

  • A. Moment of inertia is independent of shape and size of the body.
  • B. Moment of inertia depends on choice of axes.
  • C. Momentum of inertia does not depend on the mass of the body.
  • D. None

Explanation

The formula for the moment of inertia of a body is given by:I=∫r2dmWhere I is the moment of inertiar is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the element of mass dm.The moment of inertia is directly influenced by the distribution of mass around the axis of rotation, and the mass (m) is a factor in this calculation.

About Angular and Linear Quantities

Rotational motion relates angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration to linear displacement, tangential velocity and tangential acceleration through the radius. Questions use radians, v equals r omega and tangential acceleration, while distinguishing tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration and angular quantities from their linear counterparts.
