Rotational Inertia



I chose this video partly because it differs from previous videos I have found in the past. Unlike videos in which teachers explain what a concept is, in this video, he demonstrates a direct application of rotational inertia in a unique setting (outer space!) I think that the fact that he is in outer space makes the video much more engaging and interesting. I like how he described how rotational inertia is present even when we are not on earth, and how the rotational inertia in outer space differs from that in settings where gravity is present. Although the video is short and does not directly define or intensely describe what rotational inertia is, I still think that it was very helpful in my understanding of this concept.
