Explanation / Answer

Two balls m1= 0.39 and m2= 0.575.

Before: v1 = v = 6.5 and v2 = 0
After v1f and v2f

Elastic collision means 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 = 0.575/0.39 =1.474

v2f = 2*9.5 / (1.474+1) = 7.679m/s

From above we have v1f = v - k* v2f

= 9.5 - 1.474* 7.679 = - 1.82m/s

a) v2f = 2v / ((m2/m1) + 1)
b) v2f = 7.679 m/s
c) v1f = v - (m2/m1)*v2f
d) v1f = - 1.82 m/s ( negative x) opposite direction
