2 m/sec in the direction of travel of Spaceship 2, assuming they are both in frictionless outer space.

Neither is. They are equal masses.
Their volumes are equal. But their colors, weights, masses, viscosities, and nutritional contents are different.

The new speed for the combined masses will be one-half the original velocity of the moving spaceship, since the momentum is applied to a mass twice as large.

1800 kg-m/sec 600 kg x 3 meters/sec (in the direction spaceship 2 was headed). Since the first spaceship had all the initial momentum, only the velocity of the combined mass will change.

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
