The moment of linear momentum is called:

$A$ 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.

If a particle of mass $m$ is moving with constant velocity $v$ parallel to the $X$-axis in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure,its angular momentum with respect to the origin at any time $t$ will be:

$A$ body of mass $2 \ kg$ is moving in a circular path of radius $2 \ m$ with uniform speed. If the centripetal force acting on it is $100 \ N$,then its angular momentum is ....... $J \cdot s$.

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:
