Question
Three objects A,B and C are kept in a straight line on a
frictionless horizontal surface. These have masses m, 2m
and m, respectively. The object A moves towards B with a
speed 9 ms¹ and makes an elastic collision with it.
Thereafter, B makes completely inelastic collision with C.
All motions occur on the same straight line. Find the final
speed (in ms-¹) of the object C.
