Answer:
The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4
Explanation:
Given;
initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s
final angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s
During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Where;
I₁ is the initial moment of inertia
I₂ is the final moment of inertia
Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4
