What is rotational inertia or moment of inertia? What is its equivalent in linear quantities? I know what rotational inertia is; I just can't think of the equivalent in linear quantities please help.

The linear equivalent is the mass $m$
e.g. compare kinetic energy for rotation and translation $$ \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 $$ and $$ \frac{1}{2} m v^2 $$
