A diver can change her rate of rotation in the air by "tucking" her head in and bending her knees. Let's assume that when she is stretched out straight she is rotating at 1 revolution per second

Now she goes into the "tuck and bend," effectively shortening the length of her body by half. What will her rate of rotation be now?
