Three objects $A, B$ and $C$ are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. The masses of ${A}, {B}$ and ${C}$ are ${m}, 2\, {m}$ and $2\, {m}$ respectively. $A$ moves towards ${B}$ with a speed of $9$ ${m} / {s}$ and makes an elastic collision with it. Thereafter $B$ makes a completely inelastic collision with $C.$ All motions occur along same straight line. The final speed of $C$ is $....\,{m} / {s}$
