Problem P. 4332. (March 2011)

P. 4332. Two balls, made of soft copper alloy of specific heat capacity 400 J/(kg.K), collide head on. The initial speeds of the two balls, A and B, were the same and oppositely directed. After the collision ball A stops and ball B bounces back with the same speed as it had before the collision. Because of the collision the temperature of the balls increased with \frac{1}{3}~{}^\circC. At least what was the speed of the balls before the collision?
