Answer:

Radius of the sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The speed of the an object is equal to the angular velocity times radius.

-Assuming a constant mass and angular momentum of the object, the an increase in the radius of the object will decrease the angular velocity, while the speed of the mass remains constant.
