Two billiard balls undergo a head-on collision. Ball 1 is twice as heavy as ball 2. Initially, ball 1 moves with a speed `v` towards ball 2 which is at rest. Immediately after the collision, ball 1 travels at a speed of `v//3` in the same direction. What type of collision has occured?

A

Inelastic

B

Elastic
