If a gymnast, sitting on a rotating stool with his arms outstretched, suddenly lower his hands, then
Options
(a) The angular velocity decreases
(b) His moment of inertia decreases
(c) The angular velocity stays constant
(d) The angular momentum increases
Correct Answer:
The angular momentum increases
Explanation:
A gymnast sitting on a rotating stool with his arms outstretched. Suddenly when he lower his hands his moment of inertia I decreases. Since his angular momentum Iω remains constant and I decreases, his angular velocity ω increases.
