Explanation / Answer

Draw figures before and after collision
Two balls m1= 0.395 and m2= 0.56.

Before: v1 = v = 9.5 and v2 = 0
After v1f and v2f

Elastic collision => Total momentum is constant (1) and
.............................Total kinetic energy is constant (2)

m1* v + m2* 0 = m1* v1f + m2* v2f ........... (1)
m1* v²/2 + 0 = m1* (v1f)²/2 + m2* (v2f)²/2 ... (2) Let m2=k*m1 and simplify =>

v = v1f + k* v2f ...........(1) => v1f = v - k* v2f plug in (2)
v² = (v1f)² + k* (v2f)² ....(2)

v² = (v - k* v2f)² + k* (v2f)²
v² = v² - 2k* v*v2f + (k*v2f)² + k* (v2f)² , but v2f 0 divide by v2f =>

0 = -2k* v + k² * v2f + k* v2f
2k*v = v2f* (k² + k) , divide by k

v2f = 2v / (k+1) , now we plug in v = 9.5 and k = m2/m1 = 0.56/0.395 1.42
v2f = 2*9.5 / (1.42+1) = 7.85

From above we have v1f = v - k* v2f = 9.5 - 1.42* 7.85 = - 1.647

a) v2f = 2v / ((m2/m1) + 1)
b) v2f = 7.85 m/s
c) v1f = v - (m2/m1)*v2f
d) v1f = - 1.647 m/s ( negative x) opposite direction
