  1. A particle \(P\) of mass 1.5 kg is moving with velocity \(( 4 \mathbf { i } + 6 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse of magnitude 15Ns. Immediately after \(P\) receives the impulse, the velocity of \(P\) is \(\boldsymbol { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).
Find the two possible values of \(v\).
