Answer: m (v-u) = ft

Explanation:f = force

t = time, m = mass, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity m (v-u) = change in momentum. Momentum is define as the product of mass and velocity of a body. Hence change in momentum of a body is equal to impulse (the product of force and time to which it act on a body).
