Before the collision, the velocities of the particle and the wall are $v$ and $v_w = 0$, respectively. After the collision, the velocities of the particle and the wall are $v'$ and $v_w'$, respectively. + +In order to proceed, we will utilize the formulas derived in section **3.1**. + +The velocity of the particle will take the following form: + +$$ +v' = \lim\limits_{m_w \to \infty} \frac{2m_wv_w + v(m-m_w)}{m+m_w} = \lim\limits_{m_w \to \infty} \frac{v(m-m_w)}{m+m_w} = -v +$$ + +The velocity of the wall will take the following form: + +$$ +v_w' = \lim\limits_{m_w \to \infty} \frac{2m_1v_1 + v_w(m_w-m_1)}{m+m_w} = \lim\limits_{m_w \to \infty} \frac{2m_1v_1}{m+m_w} = 0 +$$ + +This leads to the conclusion that the wall will not change its position, but the particle will change its velocity value to the opposite.
