O Object 1 will bounce back with half its original speed while object 2 will remain at rest.
O Object 1 will stop while object 2 will be moving with a velocity equal to v₁.
O Object 1 will bounce back with half its original speed while object 2 will move with a speed 0.5v1.
O Object 1 will be moving with half its original speed while object 2 will be moving with a velocity equal to v₁.
