    a = 2 m/s^2, 

    delta-v = 16 m/s,

    delta-p = 48 kg*m/s.

    OR:  F = delta-p/delta-t =>

    delta-p = F delta-t = (6N)/(8 s) = 48 kg*m/s

    There's not enough information  to determie how much momentum was gained.  It could even be losing momentum.

    ΔP = ΔI = 6 N * 8 sec = 48 N*sec = 48 kg*m/sec 

    ΔV = ΔP / m = 48 kg*m/sec / 3 kg = 16 m/sec
