Spinning Ice Skater

Notions of moment of inertia, rotational motion of a body, and conservation of angular momentumA spinning ice skater is a common example of conservation of angular momentum. When the skater starts spinning with hands outstretched, the angular velocity is low, but the spinning becomes very fast as the hands are pulled in. What happens is that as the moment of inertia decreases, the angular momentum increasesComponente Curricular::Ensino Médio::FísicaComponente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::Físic
