According to the conservation of angular momentum, if an ice skater starts spinning with her arms out wide, then slowly pulls them close to her body, this will cause her to:
A) spin faster
B) spin slower
C) maintain a constant rate of spin
D) fall down

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the skater pulls her arms in, her moment of inertia decreases, and to conserve angular momentum, her rotational speed increases, causing her to spin faster.

According to the Conservation of Angular Momentum, If an Ice
