Velocity is a vector quantity(it has a direction). Simply use the vector adding method to combine velocities.
By adding the two velocities.
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.
Sometimes-when there masses are equal.

Only if the two velocities are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions.
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
Suppose the two masses are m1 and m2. Their initial velocities are u1 and u2 and final velocities are v1 and v2. Then, using conservation of momentum. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 Both m1 and m2 are given. Their initial velocities u1 and u2 are given and one of the two final velocities v1 and v2 is given which leaves only one unknown. So substitute all those values and calculate away.

For different observers (moving at different velocities), the object will have different velocities (relative to the corresponding observer). For one and the same observer, the body will have only one velocity at any given time.
It is due to the momentum of the two bodies.
Generally, no.
Sometimes-when there masses are equal.
If you have a particle with constant acceleration, and you add the initial and final velocities and then divide them by two, what you get is the average velocity of the particle in that period of time.
That's going to depend on the directions of each of the two initial velocities. It's also going to depend on who measured the initial velocities, where he was standing, how he was moving, and with respect to what else, etc.
