What happen to the force if one ball hit another ball of higher mass and the first ball stops

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-10] [Hit: ]
Yes, the momentum of the first mass is transferred to the second mass.However if you mean energy, no, not all of it is transferred. This missing energy dissipates in the form of heat,......
what happen to the force if one ball hit another ball of higher mass and the first ball stops, while the second ball (which have higher mass) moves forward traveling a distance?
Does the force obtained by the first ball (f=ma) transfer to the second ball as an Fnet?
Please help this important :)

I think you are slightly misusing the word "force." I'll answer as if you meant momentum...
Conservation of linear momentum dictates that V1im1 + V2im2 = V1fm1 + V2fm2. In your case V2i = 0 and V1f = 0, so V1m1=V2m2. Yes, the momentum of the first mass is transferred to the second mass.
However if you mean energy, no, not all of it is transferred. This missing energy dissipates in the form of heat, potential energy, sound, vibrations, etc.

yes the force was transfered from the first ball to the second ball thus causing the second ball to move forward and the first ball to stop at the exact point of impact
