Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along the horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along the vertical axis. The phase space diagram is the $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to the right) is positive and downwards (or to the left) is negative.

Give the answer for questions $1, 2,$ and $3.$

Two particles,$1$ and $2$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a massless spring and are on a horizontal frictionless plane,as shown in the figure. Initially,the two particles,with their center of mass at $x_0$,are oscillating with amplitude $a$ and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus,their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t) = (x_0 + d) + a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t) = (x_0 - d) - a \sin \omega t$,respectively,where $d > 2a$. Particle $3$ of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0 = a \omega / 2$ and undergoes an instantaneous elastic collision with particle $2$ at time $t_0$. Finally,particles $1$ and $2$ acquire a center of mass speed $v_{cm}$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency.
$(1)$ If the collision occurs at time $t_0 = 0$,the value of $v_{cm} / (a \omega)$ will be
