According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
= 325 × 2.2 sec
= 715 Ns
