A race car driver collides with a racetrack wall.  Just before the collision he is travelling at v1= 70 m/s along a straight line at 30º from the wall.  Just after the collision he is traveling at 50 m/s 10º from the wall.     a) Determine the magnitude of the impulse of the wall on the driver assuming he has a mass of 80 kg. b) Determine the angle of the impulse of the wall on the driver. (Answer with a negative angle (clockwise) measured from the positive horizontal axis.)
