All of the kinetic energy in the first ball is transferred to the second ball.

Reason: for a head-on elastic collision of equal masses (ideal billiard balls), momentum and kinetic energy conservation give the moving ball stops and the struck ball takes the original speed, so the first ball's kinetic energy is transferred to the second.
