An elastic (no kinetic energy lost) collision between two objects of equal mass requires that the velocities ‘change place’. that is if Object A moving with velocity Va hits object B with velocity Vb, aftr the collision A and B will have velocities Vb and Va respectively. If Vb = 0 you get Newton’s cradle.
