1 A ball of mass 0.4 kg is moving in a straight line, with speed \(25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), when it is struck by a bat. The bat exerts an impulse of magnitude 20 N s and the ball is deflected through an angle of \(90 ^ { \circ }\). Calculate
  1. the direction of the impulse,
  2. the speed of the ball immediately after it is struck.
