Three objects $A, B$,and $C$ are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Their masses are $m, 2m$,and $m$ respectively. Object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and undergoes an elastic collision with it. Subsequently,$B$ undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with $C$. All motion occurs along the same straight line. What will be the final speed of object $C$ in $m/s$?

Two massless strings of length $5\, m$ hang from the ceiling very near to each other as shown in the figure. Two balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $0.25\, kg$ and $0.5\, kg$ are attached to the strings. The ball $A$ is released from rest at a height of $0.45\, m$ as shown in the figure. The collision between the two balls is completely elastic. Immediately after the collision,the kinetic energy of ball $B$ is $1\, J$. The velocity of ball $A$ just after the collision is
