From $v_1$ and $v_2$, we can see that the velocity index is the same as the coefficient in front of the mass and $\text{index}+1$ at the top
<br>
Thus leading to the following recurrence relation
−$$\boxed{v_n=\sqrt{\frac{El}{m}\left( 1+ \frac{1}{n} \right)}}\quad\text{(3)}$$
+$$\boxed{v_n=\sqrt{\frac{Fl}{m}\left( 1+ \frac{1}{n} \right)}}\quad\text{(3)}$$
Where $v_n$ is the velocity before the $n^\text{th}$ collision

Law of conservation of momentum of the $n^\text{th}$ collision
