Define moment of inertia
The spread of mass from the axis of rotation
Define angular velocity
Speed of rotation
If a performer increase moment of inertia, what happens to angular velocity?
Decreases
How can an increase in moment of inertia be achieved?
Spreading limbs away from the body
If a performer decreases moment of inertia, what happens to angular velocity?
Increases
How can a decrease in moment of inertia be achieved?
Bringing limbs towards the body
How can angular momentum be calculated?
Moment of inertia x Angular velocity
