If something shrinks in size but not in mass what happens to its angular momentum?
Angular momentum is maintained in such a case - and in fact in all cases, unless angular momentum is transferred to, or from, another body. This means it must rotate faster.

What happens to the angular speed of a star as it shrinks?
As a star shrinks, its angular speed typically increases due to the conservation of angular momentum. This means that as the star's radius decreases, its rotation rate speeds up in order to conserve the total angular momentum of the system.
How does the conservation of angular momentum slow down a cloud's collapse?
The conservation of angular momentum slows down a cloud's collapse by causing it to spin faster as it shrinks in size. This increased spin creates a centrifugal force that counteracts the force of gravity, helping to stabilize the cloud and prevent it from collapsing too quickly.
How do pulsars spin so fast?
Because of the conservation of rotational momentum. As a stars core collapses, it retains the original rotational velocity. As a pulsar or neutron star's original size was in the region of 60,000 time greater that it's current form, the rotational speed is multiplied by this factor. Maintaining the rotational momentum requires the star to spin faster.
What happens to the volume of the air inside the balloon?
The volume of air inside a balloon decreases as the balloon is deflated or contracts. This is because the space available for the air to occupy shrinks as the balloon's surface area reduces, causing the air molecules to be more densely packed.
Consider the fictional case of the incredible shrinking woman. If her height shrinks to 0.1 times her original height then her total skin area shrinks to..?
The answer is .01 times its original value.

Why do neutron stars tend to have high angular velocities?
That's because of conservation of angular momentum - and the fact that neutron stars are very small. If a star the size of our Sun rotates (for example) once a month, once it shrinks to a diameter of 20-30 km., it will have to rotate several times per second in order to conserve angular momentum.

Large gas cloud can collapse to become a much smaller spinning disk of gas and What law explains why the center of the cloud becomes so much hotter as the cloud shrinks in size?
As the gas cloud collapses, conservation of angular momentum causes it to rotate faster and flatten into a disk due to conservation of angular momentum. The increase in temperature at the center is due to gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the cloud shrinks in size, leading to increased collisions between gas particles and the generation of heat at the core.

What happens if the sun shrinks?
If the sun shrinks there would be a huge black hole sucking in all the planets with it and any survivors would freeze. Sounds like fun!
