Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of $0.4\, m/s$. It collides head-on with the second elastically,the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is .............. $m/s$.

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.1$
  • D
    $0.05$
