An ice skater is in a fast spin with her arms held tightly to her body. When she extends her arms, which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. Het total angular momentum has decreased
B. She increases her moment of inertia
C. She decreases her angular speed
D. Her moment of inertia changes

Total angular momentum is the product of her moment of inertia and angular velocity. In this scenario it doesn’t decrease but rather remains constant as the movement of the arms doesn’t have any effect on the total angular momentum.

The movement of the arm under certain conditions however has varying effects and changes on parameters such as the moment of inertia and the angular speed.
