A small mass m on a string is rotating without friction in a circle. The string is shortened by pulling it through the axis of rotation without any external torque, Fig. 8–39. What happens to the angular velocity of the object? (a) It increases. (b) It decreases. (c) It remains the same. FIGURE 8–39 MisConceptual Questions 10 and 11.
