- A ball of mass 0.6 kg bounces against a wall and is given an impulse of \(( 12 \mathbf { i } - 9 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { Ns }\) where \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are perpendicular horizontal unit vectors. The velocity of the particle after the impact is \(( 5 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).
Find the velocity of the particle before the impact.
