1 A particle \(P\) of mass 12.5 kg is moving on a smooth horizontal plane when it collides obliquely with a fixed vertical wall.
At the instant before the collision, the velocity of \(P\) is \(- 5 \mathbf { i } + 12 \mathbf { j } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
At the instant after the collision, the velocity of \(P\) is \(\mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find the magnitude of the momentum of \(P\) before the collision.
- Find, in vector form, the impulse that the wall exerts on \(P\).
- State, in vector form, the impulse that \(P\) exerts on the wall.
- Find in either order.
- The magnitude of the impulse that the wall exerts on \(P\).
- The angle between \(\mathbf { i }\) and the impulse that the wall exerts on \(P\).
