1 Two particles \(A\) and \(B\) have masses of 3 kg and 2 kg respectively. They are moving along a straight horizontal line towards each other. Each particle is moving with a speed of \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when they collide.

- If the particles coalesce during the collision to form a single particle, find the speed of the combined particle after the collision.
- If, after the collision, \(A\) moves in the same direction as before the collision with speed \(0.4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), find the speed of \(B\) after the collision.
