Equate these two equations for acceleration and express, for constant mass, FΔt.

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.

Simply equate the two.

dV / dt = F/m
F*dt = dV * m

The impulse you give any object (average force * time elapsed) is equal to its change in momentum (mass * change in velocity).
