Suppose that a bowling ball collides elastically with a row of stationary bowling balls
all of the same mass. All the bowling balls are confined to move only along the gutter
beside the lane in a bowling alley. Prove that after the collision only one ball can be in
motion. Use the laws of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy (kinetic
energy) to support your answer.
