Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Moment of inertia" in Simple English language version.
The student is advised to regard moment of inertia as being equivalent to 'angular mass'; equations in rotational mechanics are generally analogous to those in translational mechanics. Wherever an equation occurs in translational mechanics involving mass m, there is an equivalent equation in rotational mechanics involving moment of inertia J. The units of moment of inertia are kilogram metres2 (abbreviation kg m2).
