Answer

Yes.

Work Step by Step

In the section about elastic collisions we have an example (fig 7a): Carts of equal mass exchange velocities when they collide. So, if the second object has the same mass as the first, it is possible for it to be at rest after the collision, having passed all of its momentum to the first object.
