A particle of mass $m$ collides with a heavy mass (at rest) elastically and after collision returns with $4/9$ of it's initial kinetic energy. The mass of heavy object is ............... $\mathrm{m}$

$Assertion$ : If collision occurs between two elastic bodies their kinetic energy decreases during the time of collision.

$Reason$ : During collision intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases.
