A point mass of $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ collides elastically with a stationary point mass of $5 \mathrm{~kg}$. After their collision, the $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ mass reverses its direction and moves with a speed of $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct for the system of these two masses?

$(A)$ Total momentum of the system is $3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

$(B)$ Momentum of $5 \mathrm{~kg}$ mass after collision is $4 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

$(C)$ Kinetic energy of the centre of mass is $0.75 \mathrm{~J}$

$(D)$ Total kinetic energy of the system is $4 \mathrm{~J}$

A simple pendulum, made of a string of length $l$ and a bob of mass $m$ , is released from a small angle $\theta_0$. It strikes a block of mass $M$, kept on a horizontal surface at its lowest point of oscillations, elastically. It bounces back and goes up to an angle $\theta_1$. Then $M$ is given by

On a frictionless surface, a block of mass $M$ moving at speed $V$ collides elastically with another block of same mass $M$ which is initially at rest. After collision the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has a speed $\frac{V}{3}$ The second block's speed after the collision is

Blocks of masses $m , 2 m , 4 m$ and $8 m$ are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass $m ,$ moving with speed $v$ along the same line (see figure) ollides with mass $m$ in perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass $8 m$ starts moving the total energy loss is $p \%$ of the original energy. Value of $'p'$ is close to
