TopicMomentum and Collisions 2

  1. A particle \(P\) of mass 0.75 kg is moving with velocity \(4 \mathbf { i } \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse \(( 6 \mathbf { i } + 6 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { Ns }\). The angle between the velocity of \(P\) before the impulse and the velocity of \(P\) after the impulse is \(\theta ^ { \circ }\).
Find
  1. the value of \(\theta\),
  2. the kinetic energy gained by \(P\) as a result of the impulse.
