An object of mass $M$ is much heavier than another object of mass $m$. The heavy object moving with speed $v$ undergoes an elastic collision with the light object at rest. What will be the speed of the light object after the collision?

  • A
    $2v$
  • B
    $3v$
  • C
    $v$
  • D
    $\frac{v}{7}$
