Three bodies of masses 
, 
and 
lie in the same plane on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure below:
Bodies on a horizontal base
The surface is smooth on the left side of point 0 and rough on the right side. Between bodies A and B is a light spring with a spring constant of 
. Bodies A and B are tied with a rope so that the spring is compressed by 2.0 cm.
How much elastic energy does the compressed spring have?
If the rope is immediately cut to release the compressed spring. At what speed will the bodies A and B fly away?
How much distance does body A travel on the rough surface? (Coefficient of friction between body A and the surface is 
).
Body B collides inelastically with body C. What is the common velocity of the combined bodies?
What percentage of kinetic energy is lost in the inelastic collision of bodies B and C?

in the left direction.
on the rough surface.
