Compute the final velocity of each car after every impacts


At an amusement park there are 200kg bumper cars A, B, and C. that have riders with masses of 40kg, 60kg, 35kg respectively. Car A is moving to the right with a velocity of VA=2m/s and car C has a velocity VC= 1.5m/s to the left, but car B is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution between each car is 0.8. Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts, assuming (a) cars A and C hit car B at the same time, (b) car A hits car B before car C does.
