Planet Jupiter

Physics

A) decrease. B) increase. C) stay the same.

D) more information needed

Answer: B

If the planet Jupiter underwent gravitational collapse, its rate of rotation about its axis would?

HERE THE ANSWERS 👇

b, the angular momentum would stay the same but the circumference decreases. Think of an ice skater in a spin as she brings her arm closer to her body.
It’s rotation would increase. Think of it in terms of an ice skater spinning around with her arms held out. If she pulls her arms closer to her she spins faster.

The technical term for this phenomena is called; Conservation of Angular Momentum.
