2 A tennis ball of mass 0.057 kg has speed \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The ball receives an impulse of magnitude 0.6 N s which reduces the speed of the ball to \(7 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Using an impulse-momentum triangle, or otherwise, find the angle the impulse makes with the original direction of motion of the ball.
