Answer:

The time-interval of the collision is
$t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. Mathemticaly this is:

F=(dp)/(dt).

We can rearrange this equation to solve for
${\delta}t$ which gives

$t=\frac{{\Delta}p}{F}$

which is our answer.

In words this means the time interval is equal to the momentum change in that interval divided by the force applied that caused this momentum change.
