Theory

Energy of the system before the collision is ½ m_tm_bv². Energy of the system after the collision is ½ m_tv_t² + ½ m_bv_b². m_t the mass of the tennis ball. m_b is the mass of the basketball. v is velocity of the tennis ball or basketball. If energy is conserved then these two values are equal.
