Elastic collision and kinetic energy transfer


Assignment:

A 0.343 kg croquet ball makes an elastic head-on collision with a second ball initially at rest. The second ball moves off with one half the original speed of the first ball. 1) What is the mass of the second ball? And 2) what fraction of the original kinetic energy gets transferred to the second ball?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question, use formulas.
