Solution: Kinetic Energy

To solve this problem, we must apply the conservation of energy. Initially, the ball is traveling at 4 km/s and the smaller ball is at rest. Finally, the ball is at rest and the smaller ball begins to move.

Ei = Ef
(1/2)m(4)2 + (1/2)(m/4)(0)2 = (1/2)m(0)2 + (1/2)(m/4)v22

v2 = 2 km/s

Answer: 2
