The experimenter from the video rotates on his stool, this time holding his empty hands in his lap. you stand on a desk above him and drop a long, heavy bean bag straight down so that it lands across his lap, in his hands. what happens?

If a bean bag is dropped into the man’s hands while he is spinning, the man’s spinning speed will slow down. This is because more mass is being added to the spinning object. Mass has an impact on rotational speed.
