\end{figure} A particle \(P\) of mass 0.5 kg is moving in a straight line with speed \(2.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when it receives an impulse of magnitude 3 Ns .
The angle between the direction of motion of \(P\) immediately before receiving the impulse and the line of action of the impulse is \(\alpha\), where \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 4 } { 3 }\), as shown in Figure 2. Find the speed of \(P\) immediately after receiving the impulse.
