A small rubber ball is thrown at an initially stationary bowling ball on a frictionless surface. The rubber ball makes a one-dimensional elastic collision and bounces back along the same line. After the collision, compared to the bowling ball, the rubber ball has

1.a larger magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy.
2.a smaller magnitude of momentum and less kinetic energy.
3.a smaller magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy.
4.the same magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy.
