After restitution

Two carts A A and B B connected by a compressed spring are moving at a constant speed of 3 3 m/s on a frictionless floor as shown above left. At a certain moment, the compression of the spring is released, separating the two carts as shown above right. The masses of A A and B B are 1 1 kg and 2 2 kg, respectively, and the velocity of A A after the restitution of the spring is 1 1 m/s. What is the velocity of B B after the restitution of the spring? (Ignore air resistance and the mass of the spring, and assume the direction of the red arrows is the positive(+) direction.)

5 -5 m/s + 5 +5 m/s 1 -1 m/s + 4 +4 m/s
