area there are three 180-kg bumper cars occupied by
seniors. The riders in cars A, B, and C have individual masses of 50, 70, and 40 kg respectively. Car A
is observed to be moving to the right with a velocity v = 2 m/s and Car C is moving at vc = 1.5 m/s
to the left. Car B is initially at rest with a collision imminent. The bumper cars are designed with a
coefficient of restitution of 0.8 between each car,

- Q6. As shown in the image below, the spring (with spring constant k = 2.4 kN/m) is fixed to block A, and block B is pressed against the spring. The masses of blocks A and B are mà = 19 kg and m² = 15 kg, respectively. The spring is initially compressed by 240 mm, and then both blocks are released from rest. Determine the velocity of block A at the instant block B loses contact with the spring. Right is considered the positive direction and negative sign must be included if the velocity points to the left. (Hint, neglect friction, and since there is no impulsive force, energy is conserved.)
