A spaceship has a momentum of 20 000 kg-ms to the left and a mass of 500 kg What is the magnitude of its velocity?

momentum = mass x velocity, so velocity is momentum/mass. If the question asks for the magnitude then it's probably the absolute magnitude rather than a directional value (which would be negative as the space ship is heading to the left.

A spaceship has a momentum of 20000 kgms to the left and a mass of 500 kg What is the magnitude of its velocity?
80m/s
Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg Spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 900 kgms What is its initial speed?
6 m/s 30 m/s
Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 ms and Spaceship 2 has a speed of ms They collide and stick together What is their speed?
momentum must be conserved momentum = mass*velocity initially momentum = 150*6 +150*0 = 900 kgms-1 final momentum = 300*combinedvelocity = 900 so the final velocity must be 3 ms-1
What is formula of momentum?
The units are KgMs- why? Velocity is a vector Quantity and mass is a scalar quantity.

What is the momentum and derive the formula for the momentum?
Momentum is the product of the mass and the velocity of an object. It's SI unit is kgms-1. Correct, but perhaps more easily interpreted as kgm/s.
What is the momentum of a 0.130 kg baseball thrown with a velocity of thirty meters per second toward home plate?
ρ=mvρ= 0.130 x 30ρ= 3.9 Kgms-1
What is the unit of momentum?
Momentum is measured in kilograms per metre per second (kgms^-1)
What is the SI unit of rate of change in momentum?
It's ms-1. Since SI unit of velocity is ms-1, thus the rate of change of it should be m/second
A 3 kg ball moving to the right at 1.4 m-s collides inelastically with a 2 kg ball at rest What will the velocity of the combined balls be after the collision?
It appears from the question that the balls stick together after the collision. Linear momentum is conserved. The linear momentum is the total of the product of mass and velocity for each of the balls. The linear momentum before is (1.4 x 3) + (0 x 2) = 4.2 kgms-1. The linear momentum after is v x (3 + 2) = 4.2kgms-1, since we know it is conserved. Hence, v = 4.2 / 5 = 0.84ms-1, in the same direction of travel as the 3kg ball was originally moving.
What is the difference between newtonmetres and kgms-2?
<F>=N <F>=kgms-2 Therefore, N = kgms-2 and Nm = kgm2s-2
Which energy is related with the velocity of objects?
Kinetic energy EK = 0.5mv2 m is the mass of the object in kg v is the velocity of the object in ms-1 EK is the kinetic energy in kgms-1, usually known as Joules, J.
