Explanation:

Newton's Third Law sometimes stated as "for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

The impulse is force multiplied by time, and the contact time is the same in both, so that the impulse is of the same magnitude for both transports. The change in the moment is equal to the impulse, so that the changes in the moments are equal
