Answer:

No

Explanation:

Changing momentum of any kind requires work. Work is a force acting over a distance. While holding the weights at arms length and spinning will create a force (centripetal), there is no radial distance change incurred. Releasing the weights will reduce the force to zero, still no work done and no change in angular momentum.

If he was holding the weights at arms length while spinning and he pull his hands to his chest, there now exists both the centripetal force and a distance in the direction of that force (inward radial) this work will result in an increase in angular velocity as moment of inertia has decreased with the work done.

Answer:

D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)

Explanation:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).
