Why do we use inertia in rotational motion and not the whole mass of an object ?

I've attempted this problem several times and keep getting 14 rads as the answer but its not an available answer choice... any help would be greatly appreciated. The problem: A uniform rod (mass = 2.0 kg, length = 0.6 m) is free to rotate about a frictionless pivot at one end. The rod is...

The question is the first part of Question 63. It is required to make a proof. What I was trying to do is to build a equation with Torque= Moment of Inertia * angular acceleration. But when it was simplified to 3g cos(sita)= r* dw/dt, it seems not easy to solve it, since both of sita and dw/dt...

can we convert the linear motion into rotational motion in cars using a fly wheel under the car ?

Ok so I roughly know what rotational motion is (e.g. the spinning of a DVD) but I wish to know the textbook definition for it. I tried Googling it but to no avail. The first link on Google gives this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis But as mentioned above, that...

I'd like some help justifying the approximation that the vibrational and rotational motion of a diatomic molecule is separable. For two atoms of masses m1 and m2 the full hamiltonian is H=-\hbar ^2 /2m_1 \nabla _1 ^2 - \hbar^2 /2m_2 \nabla _2 ^2 + V(r-r_0) Where V(r-r0) is the potential...
