Detailed Solution

When two identical balls are moving with equal speeds in opposite directions, then momentum is zero, and kinetic energy is not zero. 

Let the mass of the balls be m1 and m2 and their velocities v1 and v2 respectively.

m1=m2, v1=v2

Total momentum,
 

ptotal=m1v1+m2u2

Two identical balls are moving at equal speeds in opposite directions

so

ptotal=m1v1m1v1=0

Total kinetic energy,

E=12m1v12+12m2v22
 

E=12m1v12+12m1v12= m1v12
