What is the Relationship Between Inertia and Moment of Inertia?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between inertia and moment of inertia, specifically regarding a software's use of the term "inertia" with the unit kg·m², which is typically associated with moment of inertia. Participants agree that the context suggests the software is likely referring to moment of inertia, especially given the mention of rotational speed in rpm. Without additional context or formulas, definitive answers are challenging. For further clarification, a link to Wikipedia on moment of inertia is provided, along with a suggestion to visit AshBox for online unit conversion solutions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of context in understanding the terminology used in physics.

Hi
Have a look at attached formula. This is a part of a software. it is 'Inertia' which has 'Kg.m^2' unit.
You know 'Kg.m^2' is 'Moment of Inertia' unit. What is your idea about this? Does it use 'Inertia' as 'Moment of Inertia'?

Don't see no formula. Impossible to answer without any context whatsoever. Anything more ? If not, go with your assumption.

The unit of measure for "speed" is given as rpm (revolutions per minute). Together with the kg⋅m2 unit of measure for "inertia", it is near certain that it is dealing with rotation and that "moment of inertia" is meant.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
