TopicMomentum and Collisions
TypeVector impulse: find velocity or speed after impulse
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward impulse-momentum question requiring only vector manipulation: find the unit vector in the given direction, multiply by magnitude to get impulse vector, apply impulse = change in momentum, then solve for final velocity. It's routine application of a standard formula with no conceptual difficulty beyond basic 3D vector arithmetic.

A particle of mass 5 kg is moving with velocity \(2\mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j}\) m s\(^{-1}\). It receives an impulse of magnitude 15 N s in the direction \(\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} - 2\mathbf{k}\). Find the velocity of the particle immediately afterwards. [3]
