Find work done by friction if block reaches to the end with constant velocity

In $a$ smooth stationary cart of length $d, a$ small block is projected along it's length with velocity $v$ towards front. Coefficient of restitution for each collision is $e$. The cart rests on $a$ smooth ground and can move freely. The time taken by block to come to rest $w.r.t$. cart is 

A block of mass $m$ is moving with a velocity $u$ on a smooth horizontal surface towards a wedge of same mass initially kept at rest. Wedge is free to move in any direction. Initially the block moves up the smooth incline plane of the wedge to a height $h$ and again moves down back to the horizontal plane. In this process the wedge gains a velocity equal to

A big ball of mass $M$, moving with velocity $u$ strikes a small ball of mass $m$, which is at rest. Finally small ball obtains velocity $u$ and big ball $v$. Then what is the value of $v$
