Which graph represents the relationship between angular momentum $L$ and angular velocity $\omega$ for a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis?

Two bodies rotate with kinetic energies $E_1$ and $E_2$. Their moments of inertia about their axes of rotation are $I_1$ and $I_2$. If $I_1 = \frac{I_2}{3}$ and $E_1 = 27 E_2$,then the ratio of their angular momenta $L_1$ to $L_2$ is:

$A$ point mass $m$ is attached to one end of a string passing through a cylindrical tube. The string is held in hand,and the point mass moves in a horizontal circle of radius $r_1 = 2 \ m$ with a speed of $v_1 = 4 \ m/s$. The string is then pulled down so that the radius is reduced to $r_2 = 1 \ m$. Calculate the new linear velocity,angular velocity,and the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy.

$A$ uniform rod of mass $m$ and length $l$ is moving with velocity $u$ in a direction perpendicular to its length. $A$ blow of impulse $J$ is applied in the direction of $u$,perpendicular to its length at a distance $l/4$ from its center at point $P$,such that the instantaneous velocity of point $P$ is $2u$. Then the velocity of its center of mass will be:
