Problem

A 0.40 kg0.40\,\text{kg} ball moving at 5 m s−15\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} strikes a stationary ball on a smooth surface. The coefficient of restitution for the pair is 0.50.5. Immediately after the impact the first ball comes to rest. The mass of the second ball is closest to: a) 0.60  kg0.60\;\text{kg} b) 0.80  kg0.80\;\text{kg} c) 1.20  kg1.20\;\text{kg} d) 0.40  kg0.40\;\text{kg}
