Two particles P and Q, of masses 0.1 kg and 0.4 kg respectively, are free to move on a smooth horizontal plane. Particle P is projected with speed 4 m/s-1 towards Q which is stationary. After P and Q collide, the speeds of P and Q are equal.
Find the two possible values of the speed of P after the collision.
