6. At time \(t\) seconds the acceleration, a \(\mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 2 }\), of a particle \(P\) relative to a fixed origin \(O\), is given by \(\mathbf { a } = 2 \mathbf { i } + 6 t \mathbf { j }\). Initially the velocity of \(P\) is \(( 2 \mathbf { i } - 4 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).

1. Find the velocity of \(P\) at time \(t\) seconds. At time \(t = 2\) seconds the particle \(P\) is given an impulse ( \(3 \mathbf { i } - 1.5 \mathbf { j }\) ) Ns. Given that the particle \(P\) has mass 0.5 kg ,
2. find the speed of \(P\) immediately after the impulse has been applied.
