Q1
A diver performs a somersault after jumping from a diving board. They initially leave the board with their body extended, then tuck into a compact shape, and finally extend their body again before entering the water. Neglecting air resistance, which of the following correctly describes the changes in their rotational inertia $$I$$ and angular momentum $$L$$ about their center of mass during this process?
