### Physics Problem: Elastic Collision in Pendulum System

#### Problem Statement:
As shown in the figure below, object \( m_1 = 1.75 \, \text{kg} \) starts at an initial height \( h_{1i} = 0.315 \, \text{m} \) and speed \( v_{1i} = 4.00 \, \text{m/s} \), swings downward and strikes (in an elastic collision) object \( m_2 = 4.80 \, \text{kg} \) which is initially at rest.

#### Questions:
(a) **Determine the speed of \( m_1 \) (in m/s) just before the collision.**

\[ \boxed{\text{m/s}} \]

(b) **Determine the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction) of each ball just after the collision (Assume the positive direction is toward the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)**

\[ m_1 \quad \boxed{\text{m/s}} \]

\[ m_2 \quad \boxed{\text{m/s}} \]

(c) **Determine the height (in m) to which each ball swings after the collision (ignoring air resistance).**

\[ m_1 \quad \boxed{\text{m}} \]

\[ m_2 \quad \boxed{\text{m}} \]

#### Explanation of the Diagram:

The diagram depicts a pendulum system with two masses involved in an elastic collision. The mass \( m_1 \) is shown swinging downwards from a height \( h_{1i} \) and approaching the stationary mass \( m_2 \).

- \( m_1 \) is illustrated as a smaller ball labeled \( m_1 = 1.75 \, \text{kg} \), with an arrow indicating its downward motion with a speed of \( 4.00 \, \text{m/s} \) before the collision.
- \( m_2 \) is a larger ball labeled \( m_2 = 4.80 \, \text{kg} \) and is shown initially at rest.
- The point of collision and subsequent directions of movements post-collision are implied, following the principles of linear momentum and energy conservation for an elastic collision.
