Let's say you're playing with/babysitting/watching over a child (6 - 10 years old). The child is inquisitive and asks you various questions. Your task: explain to a child what is a moment of inertia? Note that this is a child who hadn't studied physics and doesn't know things like torque, kinetic energy, integral, etc. So if your explanation will include all these terms, the child won't understand anything! You want to explain this concept without relying on these more advanced ideas, you want to do it by simpler means to get your point across.
