7 A sphere, of mass 0.2 kg , moving on a smooth horizontal surface, collides with a fixed wall.
Before the collision the sphere moves with speed \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the wall.
After the collision the sphere moves with speed \(\nu \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) to the wall.
The velocities are shown in the diagram below.

The coefficient of restitution between the wall and the sphere is 0.7

- Find the value of \(v\)
Give your answer to two significant figures.
7
- (ii) Find the value of \(\theta\)
Give your answer to the nearest whole number.
7 - (iii) Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the sphere by the wall.
Give your answer to two significant figures.
7 - In reality the wall is not smooth.
Explain how this would cause a change in the magnitude of the impulse calculated in part (a)(iii).
