ball is rolled into a stationary 
ball. If the heavier ball applies a 
force on the smaller ball, what force will the smaller ball apply on the large ball?

The answer to this question lies within Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the large ball applies a 
force on the smaller ball, the smaller ball will apply a 
force on the large ball in the opposite (negative) direction.

This is a conservation of energy question. The event is the collision. The initial energy can be calculated by gravitational potential energy:
The final total energy must be the same. The energy of the scattered pieces must add to
