Want this question answered?
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (150) x (0) = 0 kg-m/sec, in some direction.Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (150) x (6) = 900 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.Their combined momentum = 900 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.
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.

-- mass -- velocity
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 = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (150) x (0) = 0 kg-m/sec, in some direction.Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (150) x (6) = 900 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.Their combined momentum = 900 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.
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
3 m/s

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

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (200) x (0) = 0 kg-m/sec, in some direction.Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (200) x (6) = 1200 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.Their combined momentum = 1200 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.
When your Tamagotchi is in a spaceship, that means it wasn't very happy about it's life on earth. In the spaceship, the Tamagotchi will go back to Tama Planet. If this happened to you, you weren't taking very good care of your Tamagotchi. That Tamagotchi will be recorded in your memory book. to get your tamagotchi back to life you have to push a and c together to make it come back to life. ^_^
Their combined momentum will be equal to the first boxcar's original momentum before the collision.
