When a tennis ball of mass 0.057 kg bounces it receives an impulse of magnitude \(I \mathrm {~N} \mathrm {~s}\) at an angle of \(\theta\) to the horizontal. Immediately before the ball bounces it has speed \(28 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in a direction of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. Immediately after the ball bounces it has speed \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in a direction of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal (see diagram). Find \(I\) and \(\theta\).
