The impulse-momentum theorem states that:

"The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it.

This is also an equivalent statement of Newton's second law of motion.

#"Impulse"="Applied Force " Fxx"Time " Delta t#
#"Change in momentum"="Mass " mxx"Change in velocity "Deltav#

Equating the two we get
#FxxDeltat=mxxDeltav#

(A) Plugging in given values we get
#"Momentum developed "=200xx10=2000# #"N" cdot "s"#

B) Change of speed of the particle#=2000/2=1000" m"cdot"s"^-1#
#"Final speed" ="Initial Speed"+1000" m"cdot"s"^-1#
