    Comparing moment of inertia to mass in linear motion

    Homework Statement Compare the role played by the moment of inertia in rotational motion, to that played by mass in linear motion. Homework Equations I have no idea how to tackle this question. I tried looking up the defenition of moment of inertia as a start, but I only found anything...
