It increases your rotational inertia and helps you to balance by making your body more resistant to toppling.

Gather a selection of canned foods. Predict which will roll faster down an incline. Compare liquids (which slide or slosh rather than roll inside the can) and solids. Roll the cans to test your predictions. Describe your results.

Liquids roll faster because the PE becomes mainly translational KE with little rotational KE.

The bare stick has less rotational inertia and hits the ground first.

Explain how angular momentum makes a moving bicycle easier to balance than a bicycle at rest.

The bicycle wheels at rest have no angular momentum, and the bicycle will fall over easily. When the bicycle is moving, the wheels have angular momentum, and a greater torque is required to change the direction of the angular momentum

Explain why a tightrope walker might hold a long pole in the horizontal position while performing.

The pole increases the performer's rotational inertia, allowing him or her to resist rotation.

A sizable quantity of soil is washed down the Mississippi River and deposited in the Gulf of Mexico each year. What effect does this tend to have on the length of a day?

The soil moves farther away from Earth's axis. By conservation of angular momentum, like a skater extending their arms, Earth's rotation slows, making the days slightly longer.
