Explanation / Answer

i)

Using the formula directly,

v1' = (m1-m2)v1/(m1+m2) = 0 (since m1 = m2, so m1-m2 = 0)

v2' = 2*m1v1/(m1+m2) = 2*m1*v/2m1 (since m1=m2)

= v

ii)

Here, m2>>m1, so m1 can be ignored

v1' = (m1-m2)v1/(m1+m2) = (-m2)v/(m2) = -v

v2' = 2*m1v1/(m1+m2) = 2*m1v/(m2) = 2(m1/m2)v

iii)

Again:

v1' = (m1-m2)v1/(m1+m2)

Here, m2<<m1, so m2 can be ignored.

v1' = (m1)v/(m1) = v

For 2nd object:

v2' = 2*m1v1/(m1+m2) = 2*m1v/(m1) = 2v
