14 4. A particle P has mass 0.5 kg. It is moving in the xy plane with velocity 8i m s−1 when it receives an impulse λ(−i + j) N s , where λ is a positive constant. The angle between the direction of motion of P immediately before receiving the impulse and the direction of motion of P immediately after receiving the impulse is θ° Immediately after receiving the impulse, P is moving with speed 4 10 m s−1 Find (i) the value of λ (ii) the value of θ (8) _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
