Three-cushion billiards

On a frictionless plane, ball A A moves with a velocity of v v to collide elastically with two stopped balls B B and C C sequentially, as shown above. The masses of the three balls are the same as m . m. As indicated by the red arrows, the direction of ball A A 's movement changes by an angle of 45 45 ° each time there is a collision. What is the sum of the quantities of the impulses acting on ball A A by balls B B and C ? C?

1 3 m v \frac{1}{3}mv 5 2 m v \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}mv 1 2 m v \frac{1}{2}mv 3 2 m v \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}mv
