A point mass of 1 kg collides elastically with a stationary point mass of 5 kg. After their collision, the 1 kg mass reverses its direction and moves with a speed of 2 ms−12 \text{ ms}^{-1} . Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct for the system of these two masses? [2010] a. Total momentum of the system is 3 kg ms−13 \text{ kg ms}^{-1} b. Momentum of 5 kg mass after collision is 4 kg ms−14 \text{ kg ms}^{-1} c. Kinetic energy of the centre of mass is 0.75 J0.75 \text{ J} d. Total kinetic energy of the system is 4 J4 \text{ J}
