2. Two particles, \(P\) and \(Q\), have masses \(2 m\) and \(3 m\) respectively. They are moving towards each other in opposite directions on a smooth horizontal plane when they collide directly. Immediately before they collide the speed of \(P\) is \(4 u\) and the speed of \(Q\) is \(3 u\). As a result of the collision, \(Q\) has its direction of motion reversed and is moving with speed \(u\).
- Find the speed of \(P\) immediately after the collision.
- State whether or not the direction of motion of \(P\) has been reversed by the collision.
- Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted on \(P\) by \(Q\) in the collision.
