Two cars intially at rest are free to move in the `x` direction. Car `A` has mass 4 kg and car `B` has mass 2kg. They are tied together, compressing a spring in between them. When the string holding them together is burned, car `A` moves off with a speed of `2//s`
(a) with what speed does car `B` leave.
(b) how much energy was stored in the spring before the string was burned.
