Homework Statement
A body with mass of m kg (A) is sliding horizontally in a frictionless surface at the velocity,V0.
In front of it are two bodies (B and C) , each with a mass of m kg attached with a spring whose force constant is k.
If the collision between A and B is elastic, how to calculate the velocities of A,B and C after the collision?
I took a,b and c respectively as velocities of A,B and C after the collision
Homework Equations
Using C.O.L.M
mv0=ma+mb+mc
v0=a+b+c
Using C.O.M.E
1/2mv02=1/2ma2+1/2mb2+1/2mc2
What should i do next?
