Answer:
-total mass
-location of the axis of rotation
Explanation:
The moment of inertia ([tex]I[/tex]) is a measure of the rotational inertia (resistance to the change of state of motion) of a body.
This amount depends on the mass distribution of the body and the chosen axis, which is why it must be specified with respect to an axis of rotation.
For example, for the known case of a point mass, its moment of inertia is given by:
[tex]I=mr^{2}[/tex]
Where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass and [tex]r[/tex] is the distance to the axis of rotation.
Therefore, the moment of inertia of an object depends on its total mass and location of the axis of rotation.
