Question

16 Which of the following is true about the skater
a. Her angular velocity increases when her arms are spread out because her hands exert a force on her body
b. Her angular velocity decreases when her arms are pulled close to her body because linear momentum is conserved
c. Her angular velocity increases when her arms are pulled close to her body because angular momentum is conserved
d. Her angular velocity decreases when her arms are spread out because angular energy is conserved.
