Three objects , and are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. These have masses , and , respectively. The object moves towards with a speed and makes an elastic collision with it. Thereafter, makes completely inelastic collision with . All motions occur on the same straight line. Find the final speed (in ) of the object .

Three objects A , B and C are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. These have…
Solution
Now from conservation of linear momentum after all collisions are complete,
or
