Question
An object of mass 1 kg is traveling with a constant speed of 10 m/s in the positive x-direction. Consider case 1 in which the object above comes to a stop in 1 second. Consider case 2 in which the same object comes to a stop in 10 seconds instead of 1 second.
Which case had the bigger change in momentum?
Which case had the bigger impulse?
I know impulse is J = f*(Tf-Ti) but I don't see any forces listed. The time is bigger for one but maybe the force was less? They could be the same, or it could be "not enough info"?

Answers
in both cases, the object has the same initial and final momentum
check the definition of impulse
