1 Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) of masses 0.2 kg and 0.3 kg respectively are free to move in a horizontal straight line on a smooth horizontal plane. \(P\) is projected towards \(Q\) with speed \(0.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). At the same instant \(Q\) is projected towards \(P\) with speed \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 } . Q\) comes to rest in the resulting collision.
Find the speed of \(P\) after the collision.
