Open the two part documents in the viewport in order to see both of them. From the feature manager tree take and drag the sketch on some surface of the model of the second part.
Constraints will not be maintained unless you create a Library Feature of the sketch, but for a "one off" copy it's probably quicker and simpler to just re-create them.
I have a question about copy and pasting sketches and drawings entities. When you copy something, why doesn't it paste in the same origin as where you copied it from. It just randomly pastes it anywhere. Example, if you're copy drawing notes from a "B" size drawing to another "B" drawing, you always have to move the text back into place. Sketches has this same probles in parts. I remember some of the older CAD systems had this capability. Is there an option to do this?

You can also convert the sketch to a block if you'd like to keep the constraints--and if you need to use the sketch in several places/parts. Create a prominent point to use as the insertion point and you won't even need any constraining dimensions when inserted for use.
Theophilus' suggestion works well for parts. I was about to write that myself. It isn't always the solution for drawings though, since blocks cannot have both text and line entities for some reason (at least in SW 2007).
