Assume the person can be treated as a partcle As the person moves toward the center o the rotatng platorm the moment o nerta decreases. The angular speed must ncrease snce the angular momentum s constant. or The person runs tangent to the edge o the platorm and then jumps on. The total angular momentum o the system (person + platorm) s constant. The angular velocty o the platorm changes. 9
