3. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.5 kg is moving with velocity \(\lambda ( \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) when \(P\) receives an impulse of magnitude \(\sqrt { \frac { 5 } { 2 } } \mathrm { Ns }\)
Immediately after \(P\) receives the impulse, the velocity of \(P\) is \(4 \mathbf { i } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) Given that \(\lambda\) is a constant, find the two possible values of \(\lambda\)
