Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.
Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (300) x (2) = 600 kg-m/sec, in some direction.
Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (300) x (1) = 300 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.
Their combined momentum = 900 kg-m/sec, in their common direction
but the answer is 1500 kg-ms

Spaceship 1 and spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300 kg they collide spaceship 1s final speed is 2 ms and spaceship 2s final speed is 1 ms in the same direction what is their combined momentum?
Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity. The momentum of the two ships would be 300 x 2 = 600 kgm/s and 300 x 1 = 300 kgm/s. So the combined momentum of the two ships would be 900 kgm/s.

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.

If two spaceships have equal masses and one is stationary and one is moving What is their combined speed if they collide and stick together?
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.
