Answer:

a. Her moment of inertia increases and she rotates slower.

Explanation:

As we know that initially when she starts her motion she is in piked position due to which her whole mass is concentrated near the axis of rotation

So here the rotational Inertia of her body will be smaller

Now when is comes closer to the position of landing she extends into layout position due to which her mass will move away from the axis of rotation

Due to this the rotational inertia of her body will increase

now we know that there is no external torque on the system

so here angular momentum must be conserved

So we will have

I\omega = constant

so if rotational inertia is increasing then angular speed must be slower

so correct answer will be

a. Her moment of inertia increases and she rotates slower.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.
