A particle, P, of mass 4 kg is projected with speed 9 m s-1 along rough horizontal ground. The coefficient of friction between P and the ground is 0.4. After 7 m it strikes a stationary particle, Q, of mass 3 kg. The coefficient of friction between Q and the ground is also 0.4. Q comes to rest after 2 m.

Show that the speed of P immediately before the collision is 5 m s-1 and find the speed of Q immediately after the collision.
