During summersault, a swimmer bends his body to
increase moment of Inertia
Incorrect Answerdecrease moment of Inertia
Correct Answerdecrease the angular momentum
Incorrect Answerreduce the angular velocity
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Decrease moment of Inertia
-A swimmer bends his body to decrease moment of inertia. This is because during a somersault, a full rotation is to be performed in a limited amount of time. Thus because moment of inertia is lesser, the body rotates faster and hence able to complete the somersault.
