    V=18 m/s

    Explanation:

    Impulse is represented by Δp. It can be expanded such as: Δp = m (v-u), where m is mass, v is final velocity, and u is initial velocity. (sorry ib physics things)

    You can substitute your given values into the equation.

    Δp = - 2000 (i kept this as negative since it is going the opposite direction to your initial velocity)

    m = 1000 kg

    u = 20 m/s

    1. - 2000 = 1000 (v-20) - -> - 2000/1000

    2. - 2 = v-20 - -> - 2 + 20

    3. v = 18 m/s

    You can always double check your answer by substituting it back into the original equation to make sure the Δp = - 2000
