  1. A particle \(P\), of mass 0.5 kg , is moving with velocity ( \(4 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j }\) ) \(\mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse I of magnitude 2.5 Ns.
As a result of the impulse, the direction of motion of \(P\) is deflected through an angle of \(45 ^ { \circ }\) Given that \(\mathbf { I } = ( \lambda \mathbf { i } + \mu \mathbf { j } )\) Ns, find all the possible pairs of values of \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\).
