That is, not only must no translational kinetic energy be degraded into heat, but none of it may be.
For collisions between two objects, the total linear momentum is always conserved. What is the final velocity of each ball, in terms of m and v though we could go through the formal application of the equations of linear momentum, it is easier to think about this problem conceptually.
