So why is it exactly that in the frame of reference of the center of mass the rebound will be a mirror image of the apporach?

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

Thank you for the quick and detailed response. I had to write it down to understand it but I got it now. Yeah, that ##v_{2f} = 0## also made me wonder, I will ask other people about it. Thanks!

So after not being able to solve this problem I did some researching online. I was looking around and came across this video, where they give the following equations for solving for the final velocities of both balls: v1f=((m1-m2)/(m1+m2))*v1i v2f=(2m1/(m1+m2))*v1i I plugged in my numbers and...
