4 A particle \(P\), of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\), collides with a particle \(Q\), of mass 2 kg
Immediately before the collision the velocity of \(P\) is \(\left[ \begin{array} { c } 4
- 2 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) and the velocity of \(Q\) is \(\left[ \begin{array} { c } - 3
5 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\)
As a result of the collision the particles coalesce into a single particle which moves with velocity \(\left[ \begin{array} { l } k
0 \end{array} \right] \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\), where \(k\) is a constant.
Find the value of \(k\).
