 Force  of the object = 8.19 N

 Duration of Time  =18.9 s

 Mass of the object  = 5.1 kg

The relation between  force,momentum and time is  

                                                                Force =Change in Momentum / time

                                                               => Change in  Momentum = force * time      

                                                               =  8.19 * 18.9

                                                               =   154.79 N -s.

So, the change in momentum is 154.79 N -s.

Now calculate for the change in its velocity :

The relation between force, velocity ,mass and time is  

                                                                Force = (mass * Change in velocity)/ time

                                                                  => Change in velocity = (force * time) / mass

                                                                  = (8.19 * 18.9) / (5.1)      

                                                                   = 30.35 m/s.

So, the change in Velocity is 30.35 m/s.
