An ice skater that is spinning in circles has an initial rotational inertia \(I_i\). You can approximate her shape to be a cylinder. She is spinning with velocity \(\omega_i\). As she extends her arms, her rotational inertia changes by a factor of \(x\) and her angular velocity changes by a factor of \(y\). Which one of the following options best describe \(x\) and \(y\)?
