Question: Consider the same initial system of spring and carts (A) and B as in Problem 62. After the system is set in motion with common

Consider the same initial system of spring and carts \(A\) and B as in Problem 62. After the system is set in motion with common speed \(v_{i}\), the clamp is again released. What is the speed of cart \(A\) at the instant when the spring is still partially compressed and stores one-fourth of its initial internal energy \(E_{\text {spring }}\) ?
