Two masses, each of mass m, are connected by an ideal massless spring. The whole system is clamped together so that the spring is initially compressed by Ar from its relaxed length. The system is translating to the right with speed vo. Suddenly, the clamp and the spring are cut, so that the masses fly off freely. What are the final speeds of each mass?
