Answer:

Directly proportional:

J ~ m

Step-by-step explanation:

The moment of inertia of the point:

J = m·R²

The moment of inertia of the disk:

J = m·R² / 2

The moment of inertia of the ball:

J = 2·m·R² / 5

J ~ m

The further away the mass is from the axis, the higher the moment of inertia
