Question

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 3.25 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between B and C and 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place.

Answer 1

V(c)' = 0.325 m/s

V(a)' = 2.19375 m/s

V(b)'' = 0.73125
