A hovering fly is approached by an enraged elephant charging at 2.1 m/s. Assuming that the collision is elastic, at what speed does the fly rebound? Note that the projectile (the elephant) is much more massive than the target (the fly).

From the above observation we conclude that, the rebound speed of the fly would be 4.2 m/s.
