6 An ice hockey puck, of mass 0.2 kg , is moving in a straight line on a horizontal ice rink under the action of a single force which acts in the direction of motion.
At time \(t\) seconds, the force has magnitude ( \(2 t + 3\) ) newtons.
The force acts on the puck from \(t = 0\) to \(t = T\)
6
- Show that the magnitude of the impulse of the force is \(a T ^ { 2 } + b T\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers to be found.

6 - While the force acts on the puck, its speed increases from \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
Use your answer from part (a) to find \(T\), giving your answer to three significant figures.
Fully justify your answer.
