a moving ball hits a stationary one (elastic). Why does the first ball stop and the other move. ie why dont they move off together? I saw an answer saying that conservation of motion requires a continuation in the same direction. Yes but that doesnt explain why they dont share both energy and momentum. Eg throw a medicine ball at a clown on ice, they move off together. The ball doent stop and the clown move? A ball hits another ball and one stops the other moves.

They will move off together if the collision is inelastic. In this case the mechanical energy is not conserved. So, in your scenario two balls cannot move off together.
