Answer:
the angular speed of the person increases, being able to make more turns and faster.
K₂ = K₁ I₁ / I₂
Explanation:
When the divers are turning the system is isolated, so all the forces are internal and therefore also the torque, therefore the angular momentum is conserved
initial, joint when starting to turn
L₀ = I₁ w₁
final. When you shrink your arms and legs
Lf = I₂ w₂
L₀ = Lf
I₁ w₁ = I₂ w₂
when you shrink your arms and legs the distance to the turning point decreases and since the moment of inertia depends on the distance squared, the moment of inertia also decreases
I₂ <I₁
w₂ = I₁ / I₂ w₁
therefore the angular speed of the person increases, being able to make more turns and faster.
When it goes into the water it straightens the arm and leg, so the moment of inertia increases
I₁> I₂
w₁ = I₂ / I₁ w₂
therefore we see that the angular velocity decreases, therefore the person trains the water like a stone and can go deeper faster.
In both cases the kinetic energy is
K = ½ I w²
the initial kinetic energy is
K₁ = ½ I₁ w₁²
the final kinetic energy is
K₂ = ½ I₂ w₂²
we substitute
K₂ = ½ I₂ (I₁ / I₂ w1² 2
K₂ = ½ I₁² / I₂ w₁² = (½ I₁ w₁²) I₁ / I₂
K₂ = K₁ I₁ / I₂
therefore we see that the kinetic energy increases by factor I₁/I₂
