Aman is right but in question given that after collision both balls move with the same velocity then use that concept in momentum eq;

mv = mv1+mv1,
so v1=v/2.

We know that total momentum remains constant i.e., m1*v1=m2*v2 given that mass is constant m1=m2 then v1=v2 so the 1st ball gives half of its velocity to 2nd.

We know,

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision for that,

mv + m(0) = mv' + mv'.

mv = m(2v').

So velocity after impact v' = v/2.

@ALL.

As per my knowledge, after the collision, both balls are moving with some velocity so that the velocity of balls after the collision is v/2.

From conservation of momentum.

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.

mv+m*0 = mv1+mv1 { after impact v1=v2}.

Hence,
v1 = v/2.

If the second mass it at rest initially. After collision 1st mass gets rest second mass move with a velocity ' V'. NOT By both ' V/2'.

Ravi said:   9 years ago
According to the conservation of momentum.

The 1st ball will come to rest and the second ball will move with a velocity V.

The body transfer the whole energy to second body because e=1. So first body comes to rest. Another one moves velocity v.

Saurabh said:   1 decade ago
One of the body which was moving initially with velocity V would come to rest and second body will move with velocity v.

After collision the second body will move by velocity 'v' because first body will remain rest and second will move.
