Answer

The change in momentum of the puck is $~~16.0~kg~m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find $t$ when $F = 0$: $12.0-3.00~t^2 = 0$ $t^2 = 4.00$ $t = 2.00~s$ We can find the impulse between $t = 0$ and $t = 2.00~s$: $J = \int^{2.00}_{0}(12.0-3.00~t^2)~dt$ $J = (12.0~t-t^3)\Big\vert^{2.00}_{0}$ $J = [(12.0)(2.00)-(2.00)^3)]- [(12.0)(0)-(0)^3)]$ $J = (24.0-8.00)-(0)$ $J = 16.0~kg~m/s$ The change in momentum of the puck is equal to the impulse on the puck from the force. The change in momentum of the puck is $~~16.0~kg~m/s$
