$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:

$A$ steel sphere of radius $1.2 \ cm$ collides with a second steel sphere at rest. If the collision is elastic and after the collision the first sphere continues to move in its initial direction with a velocity of $\frac{7}{9}$ times its initial velocity,then the radius of the second sphere is (in $cm$)
