Answer:


\Delta p = 1.0 \ \rm N.s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Force,
F = 10 \ \rm N

Time,
t = 0.1 \ s

The change in momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the hockey puck. Moreover, the impulse is the product of the applied force and the time interval.

Thus, the change in momentum can be given as,


\Delta p = F * t


\Delta p = 10 \ \rm N * 0.1 \ s


\Delta p = 1.0 \ \rm N.s.
