Suppose you are sitting on a rotating stool holding a 2-kg mass in each outstretched hand. if you suddenly drop the masses, your angular velocity will

To explain this, angular momentum is used. angular momentum (L) is equal to inertia times the angular velocity (w). since the inertia is directly proportional to mass, so if the mass will decrease suddenly then the angular velocity will increase. w = L / i

where i = mr^2

m is the mass

w = L / mr^2

w and m are inversely proportional. when m decreases w increases
