$A$ sphere of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides head-on with another sphere of the same mass which is at rest. The ratio of the final velocity of the second sphere to the initial velocity of the first sphere is (where $e$ is the coefficient of restitution and the collision is inelastic).

  • A
    $\frac{e-1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{e}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{e+1}{2}$
  • D
