  1. A particle of mass 3 kg is moving with velocity \(( 3 \mathbf { i } + 5 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse \(( - 4 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N }\) s.
Find
  1. the speed of the particle immediately after receiving the impulse,
  2. the kinetic energy gained by the particle as a result of the impulse.
