Question:
Three identical cars are being unloaded from an automobile carrier. Cars B and C have just been unloaded and are at rest with their brakes off when car A leaves the unloading ramp with a velocity of 5.76 ft/s and hits car B, which hits car C. Car A then again hits car B. Knowing that the velocity of car B is 5.04 ft/s after the first collision, 0.630 ft/s after the second collision, and 0.709 ft/s after the third collision, determine
(a) The final velocities of cars A and C,
(b) The coefficient of restitution for each of the collisions.
