14) An asteroid is accreting mass from the surrounding space that is "stationary". It can be shown that the moment of inertia is: | = 8/15 np R$ where p is the density both of the asteroid and the material being accreted. After a while the radius doubles. What happens to the rotational speed in the transition?

Question 12 14) An asteroid is accreting mass from the surrounding space that is "stationary". It can be shown that the moment of inertia is: 1- 8/15 πρ R where p is the density both of the asteroid and the material being accreted. After a while the radius doubles. What happens to the rotational speed in the transition? O a) Is conserved - does not change O b) Is doubled O ) Falls to 3% of the original d) Increases by 3% of the original O e) Falls to 6% of the original O N Goes to 1/2 as in a completely inelastic collision of same size balls O 8) Cannot be determined from the information provided
