If you've ever watched an Olympic ice skater do a spin, you may have noticed that he or she will draw in her arms closer to her body in order to increase the speed of rotation. This is in keeping with the law of the conservation of angular momentum.

What happens to the angular speed of a star as it shrinks?
It must spin faster in order to conserve angular momentum ... the same reason that a skater spins faster when he pulls his arms in close to his body.
Do wind turbines spin faster than windmills in light wind?
it would spin slower
Does the world spin faster than an aeroplane?
yes!
Do windmills spin faster in light winds?
Slower..
Do wind turbines spin faster or slower in light winds?
They spin faster than old ones because some old ones are so old that they can't even move. That is my answer.(:
How do you spin faster while flipping on the trampoline?
hold arms and legs close to your chest
What is the best way to learn a two foot spin?
Bend your knees with your arms out twist entire upper body to one side and bring your arms around bring your arms in as though you are hugging a stuffed animal and strighten your legs. you will spin faster if your legs are straight and your arms are in.

How does a figure skater spin fast?
pull arms close to your bodykeep a 'secure' position (don't make your body 'loose')skate faster into the spinpractice
Which planet spin faster?
mercury spins faster.
How does a centrifugal clutch work?
The center of the clutch is attached directly to the engine crankshaft, when the engine rotates faster the centrifical force spins weighted arms that are attached to the center of the clutch to the outside casing of the clutch forcing it to spin when the arms touch it. The outside casing acts as a pulley for a chain or a belt, separated from the center of the clutch by bearings so that it does not spin until the arms touch it.
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
because of the way rock and debris hit them they spin faster
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
What are the things that spin on a windmill called?
They are called arms
How do you spin a weight faster?
Shorten the cord you have it on.
Do wind turbines spin faster than windmills in light wind?
it would spin slower
What changes speed in cars?
What do you mean by that question? There are a lot of things that change speed in a car. When more air and fuel enter the cylinders on a motor, it makes it speed up. When the motor speeds up, it makes the transmission spin faster, and when you shift gears it makes the driveshaft spin faster, along with the gears in the rearend, unless you have a front wheel drive car, then it makes the wheels spin faster. When the motor speeds up, the accessories driven by the belt or belts on the front of the motor spin faster. when the wheels spin faster, the car goes faster.
