individual masses of 50, 70, and 40 kg respectively. Car A is observed to be moving to the right with a velocity va = 2 m/s and Car C is moving at vc = 1.5 m/sto 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. (a) Cars A and C hit Car B at the same time, (b) Car A hits Car B before car C does (note there will be more than two total collisions)
