A 4-kg mass moving with speed 2 m/s, and a 2-kg mass moving with a speed of 4 m/s, are gliding over a horizontal frictionless surface

A) Both masses travel the same distance before stopping. B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping. C) The 2-kg mass travels farther, but not necessarily twice as far. D) The 4-kg mass travels twice as far as the 2-kg mass before stopping. E) The 4-kg mass loses more kinetic energy than the 2-kg mass.
