4. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.75 kg is moving with velocity \(4 \mathbf { i } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse \(\mathbf { J }\) Ns. Immediately after \(P\) receives the impulse, the speed of \(P\) is \(8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) Given that \(\mathbf { J } = c ( - \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } )\), where \(c\) is a constant, find the two possible values of \(c\).
