Impulse from variable force (then find velocity)

7 A disc, of mass 0.15 kg , slides across a smooth horizontal table and collides with a vertical wall which is perpendicular to the path of the disc. The disc is in contact with the wall for 0.02 seconds and then rebounds.
A possible model for the force, \(F\) newtons, exerted on the disc by the wall, whilst in contact, is given by $$F = k t ^ { 2 } ( t - b ) ^ { 2 } \quad \text { for } \quad 0 \leq t \leq 0.020$$ where \(k\) and \(b\) are constants.
The force is initially zero and becomes zero again as the disc loses contact with the wall. 7

1. State the value of \(b\).
   7
2. Find the magnitude of the impulse on the disc, giving your answer in terms of \(k\).

3 A body, \(Q\), of mass 2 kg moves in a straight line under the action of a single force which acts in the direction of motion of \(Q\). Initially the speed of \(Q\) is \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\), the magnitude \(F \mathrm {~N}\) of the force is given by $$F = t ^ { 2 } + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { t } , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 4$$

3 A ball of mass 0.45 kg is travelling horizontally with speed \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when it strikes a fixed vertical bat directly and rebounds from it. The ball stays in contact with the bat for 0.1 seconds.
