Assume that the small-massed particle is and the heavier mass particle is .
Now, by momentum conservation and energy conservation:
Now, there are 2 solutions but, one of them is useless to this question's main point so I excluded that point. Ask me in the comments if you want the excluded solution too.
So now, we see that and . So therefore, the smaller mass recoils out.
Hope this helps you!

<span>French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.</span>
Answer:
I believe <u>kinetic / potential</u>
Explanation:
While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.
Hope that helps!
