2 A particle of mass 0.3 kg is projected horizontally under gravity with velocity \(3.5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) from a point 0.4 m above a smooth horizontal plane. The particle first hits the plane at point \(A\); it bounces and hits the plane a second time at point \(B\). The distance \(A B\) is 1 m . Calculate
  1. the vertical component of the velocity of the particle when it arrives at \(A\), and the time taken for the particle to travel from \(A\) to \(B\),
  2. the coefficient of restitution between the particle and the plane,
  3. the impulse exerted by the plane on the particle at \(A\).
