Moment Of Inertia: Scalar measure of the rotational inertia with respect to a fixed axis of rotation
Moment of inertia ( I ), also called angular mass (kg·m2), is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation.

It is a rotating body's resistance to angular acceleration or deceleration, equal to the product of the mass and the square of its radius measured perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.
