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.

Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300 kg They collide Spaceship 1's final speed is 3 ms and Spaceship 2's final speed is 2 ms in the same direction What is their combined momentum?
2m/s
What is collision theory?
The collision theory is when atoms, molecules or ions bash together or collide together. Collision theory states that the rate of a reaction may be increased by : increasing pressure; raising the amount of heat energy; raising the concentration of the reactant and by introducing a catalyst.
Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300 kg. They collide. Spaceship 1's final speed is 2 ms and Spaceship 2's final speed is 1 ms in the same direction. What is their combined momentum?

When two billiard balls collide the total change in momentum is what?
When two billiard balls collide, the total change in momentum is equal to zero according to the law of conservation of momentum. This means that the combined momentum of the two balls before the collision is equal to the combined momentum after the collision.
Two objects collide and stick together. how does the total momentum change?
The total momentum after the collision remains the same as before the collision. This is because momentum is conserved in a closed system, even when objects stick together. The momentum of the two objects is simply combined into a single object after the collision.
How do foothills change over time?
When earths plates collide together
