3. Two particles, \(P\) and \(Q\), have masses 0.5 kg and \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) respectively. They are moving in opposite directions towards each other along the same straight line on a smooth horizontal plane and collide directly. Immediately before the collision the speed of \(P\) is \(4 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and the speed of \(Q\) is \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The magnitude of the impulse exerted on \(P\) by \(Q\) in the collision is 4.2 N s . As a result of the collision the direction of motion of \(P\) is reversed.
- Find the speed of \(P\) immediately after the collision.
The speed of \(Q\) immediately after the collision is \(1 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find the two possible values of \(m\).
