2. [In this question \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are perpendicular unit vectors in a horizontal plane.] A ball has mass 0.2 kg . It is moving with velocity ( 30 i ) \(\mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) when it is struck by a bat. The bat exerts an impulse of \(( - 4 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } )\) Ns on the ball. Find
  1. the velocity of the ball immediately after the impact,
  2. the angle through which the ball is deflected as a result of the impact,
  3. the kinetic energy lost by the ball in the impact.
