2. Two particles, \(P\) and \(Q\), have masses \(2 m\) and \(m\) respectively. The particles are moving towards each other in opposite directions along the same straight line on a smooth horizontal plane. The particles collide directly.
Immediately before the collision, the speed of \(P\) is \(3 u\) and the speed of \(Q\) is \(2 u\).
The magnitude of the impulse exerted on \(Q\) by \(P\) in the collision is 5mu.
Find
- the speed of \(P\) immediately after the collision,
- the speed of \(Q\) immediately after the collision.
