Question

A bug of mass collides with a car. The car exerts an impulse of on the bug during the collision ( is a scalar constant). There are no other significant impulses acting on the bug during the collision. The bug had a momentum of before the collision ( is a scalar constant). What is the momentum of the bug AFTER the collision?
