Question

Monica stands at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks toward the opposite edge, passing through the platform's center. Describe the motion of the platform as Monica makes her trip. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Consider the Monica-platform system to be isolated (hence the frictionless axle) so that the angular momentum is conserved. As Monica walks toward the centre the moment of inertia of the system I so the angular velocity omega because angular momentum L = I omega Once she passes the centre and gets closer to the opposite edge the moment of inertia until it is Hence the angular velocity until it is

Explanation / Answer

While in the pike position the body decreases in radius as each segment moves closer to the axis of rotation, resulting in angular velocity increasing and a decrease of moment of inertia.

so the following are fill in the blanks repectively

decrease, increase, stays constant.

increase, the same value as initially, decrease,the same value as initially
