Answer:

impulse = 8820 kg·
(m)/(s) or 8820 N·s

Step-by-step explanation:

Impulse J is equal to the average force
F_(av) multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J =
F_(av)Δt

As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force
F_(av) and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.

Multiply these values.

You will get an impulse of 8820 kg·
(m)/(s) or 8820 N·s.
