2. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.75 kg is moving under the action of a single force \(\mathbf { F }\) newtons. At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) of \(P\) is given by $$\mathbf { v } = \left( t ^ { 2 } + 2 \right) \mathbf { i } - 6 t \mathbf { j }$$
  1. Find the magnitude of \(\mathbf { F }\) when \(t = 4\).
    (5) When \(t = 5\), the particle \(P\) receives an impulse of magnitude \(9 \sqrt { } 2 \mathrm { Ns }\) in the direction of the vector \(\mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j }\).
  2. Find the velocity of \(P\) immediately after the impulse.
