    Answer:


    Given:

    Mass of elephant = 5240 kg

    The initial speed of the elephant = 4.55 m/s

    Mass of the rubber ball, m, = 0.15 kg

    Inital speed of the rubber ball, v = 7.81 m/s

    On substitution  in V_{2f} = [\frac{2m_{1} }{m_{1} +m_{2} } ]V_{1f} + [\frac{m_{2}-m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2} } ] v_{2f}

    V_{2f} = [\frac{2*5240_{} }{5240_{} +0.15_{} } ](-4.55_{}) + [\frac{0.15_{}-5240_{}}{5240_{}+0.15_{} } ] (7.81_{})

    a) The negatıve sign shows that the ball bounces back in the direction opposite  to the incident

    b)  it is clear that the velocity of the ball increases and therefore it is kinetic energy
    . The ball gains kinetic energy from the elephant.
