Two identical cars A and B are at rest on a loading dock with brakes released. Car C, of a slightly different style but of the same weight, has been pushed by dock workers and hits car B with a velocity of 2 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between Band C and 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place. V m/s The velocity of car A is The velocity of car Bis The velocity of car Cis B 15 m/s ←. 1.013 m/s 338 m/s.
