4 A particle \(P\) is projected vertically upwards from horizontal ground with speed \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Find the time taken for \(P\) to return to the ground.
    The time in seconds after \(P\) is projected is denoted by \(t\). When \(t = 1\), a second particle \(Q\) is projected vertically upwards with speed \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) from a point which is 5 m above the ground. Particles \(P\) and \(Q\) move in different vertical lines.
  2. Find the set of values of \(t\) for which the two particles are moving in the same direction.
