Answer:
#underbrace(bbJ = int_(t_1)^(t_2) bbF \ dt)_("Impulse") = underbrace(bb p_2 -bb p_2)_("Change in Momentum")# Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law:
#bbF = dot bb p#
#implies underbrace(Delta bb p = dot bb p Delta t)_("Change in Momentum") = underbrace(bb F Delta t)\_("Impulse")# In integral form:
#underbrace(bbJ = int_(t_1)^(t_2) bbF \ dt)_("Impulse") = underbrace(bb p_2 - bb p_2)_("Change in Momentum")#
