We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,
sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B and then separated from it. After that, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere C and then separated from it. Finally, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B again, and then separated from it.
How much charge ends up on sphere C? What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other? After they have touched?

Explanation:
The principle of conservation of momentum, states that if the sum of the forces acting on a system is null, the initial total momentum of the system before a collision equals the final total momentum of the system after the collision. The collision is completely inelastic, which means that the players remain stick to each other after the collision:
