Moment of Inertia
I = Σmr²; formulae for ring, disc, sphere, rod — #1 most asked.
★★★★★
95% Frequency
Torque & Angular Acceleration
τ = Iα; rotational analogue of F = ma.
★★★★★
90% Frequency
🌊
Angular Momentum & Conservation
L = Iω; L conserved when τ_net = 0. Diver, spinning top.
★★★★★
88% Frequency
⚙️
Rolling Motion
Rolling without slipping: v_cm = Rω; KE = ½mv² + ½Iω².
★★★★☆
84% Frequency
📐
Parallel & Perpendicular Axis Theorems
I_new = I_cm + Md²; for laminas — connect all MI formulae.

  • Parallel axis theorem — asked 9× in JEE Main
  • Chapter 7 = highest JEE weightage in Unit 3
Key Takeaways
🔑
MI depends on axis AND mass distribution
Ring > Disc > Sphere (for same mass and radius about central axis).
τ_net = Iα is the rotational F = ma
Every torque must be about the same axis. Sign convention matters.
📐
Rolling: KE_total = ½mv²(1 + I/mR²)
For disc: 3/4 mv². For ring: mv². For solid sphere: 7/10 mv².
🌊
Angular momentum L = Iω = mvr (for particle)
Conservation: skater pulls arms in → ω increases.
🧮
Parallel axis: I = I_cm + Md²
Only works when one axis passes through CM.
🎯
CM of uniform rod: at midpoint
CM of semicircular ring: 2R/π from centre.
