Rotational inertia
the property of an object that determines its resistance to rotational motion. It depends on the mass distribution of the object and the axis of rotation.

5
Parallel Axis Theorem
It states that the moment of inertia of a body about any axis parallel to its center of mass is equal to the moment of inertia about the center of mass plus the product of the mass of the body and the square of the distance between the two axes.
