Question:

A ball traveling with some velocity v hits another ball elastically which is stationary. What will happen to the system?

Options:

Both the balls become stationary

The stationary ball remains at rest and the moving ball starts moving in opposite direction

The stationary ball will start moving with a velocity v and the moving ball will come at rest

Both the balls start moving

Correct Answer:

The stationary ball will start moving with a velocity v and the moving ball will come at rest

Explanation:

In this case also we need to conserve the momentum and write the expression for e. After some calculation we will find that the stationary ball will start moving with a velocity v and the moving ball will come at rest.
