- A particle of mass 2 kg is moving with velocity \(( 5 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse \(\mathbf { I N }\) s, such that \(\mathbf { I } = a \mathbf { i } + b \mathbf { j }\)
Immediately after receiving the impulse, the particle is moving with velocity \(\lambda ( \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { ms } ^ { - 1 }\), where \(\lambda\) is a constant.
Given that the magnitude of \(\mathbf { I }\) is \(\sqrt { 40 }\), find the two possible impulses.
