1 In this question, \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are perpendicular unit vectors in a horizontal plane. A particle \(P\) has mass 10 kg and a speed of \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in the direction of \(4 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j }\). A force of \(( - 4 \mathbf { i } + 15 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N }\) acts on P for 8 seconds.
  1. Calculate the impulse of the force over the 8 seconds.
  2. Hence find the speed of P at the end of the 8 seconds.
