Momentum = (speed) times (mass).Spaceship-1 has no momentum, since its speed is zero. The combined momentum is just the momentum of Spaceship-2.Momentum of Spaceship-2 = (m V) = 300 x 4 = 1,200 kg-meters

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. Since both spaceships have a mass of 300 kg, spaceship 1 has a momentum of 0 Ns, and spaceship 2 has a momentum of 1200 Ns. The combined momentum of spaceship 1 and spaceship 2 is 1200 Ns.
The momentum of each spaceship is given by mass x velocity. Therefore, spaceship 1 has a momentum of 0 kgm/s and spaceship 2 has a momentum of 2000 kgm/s. When combined, the total momentum would be 2000 kg*m/s.

Both spaceships have the same mass and spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 600 kg-m/s. Since momentum is conserved in an isolated system, the final momentum of spaceship 1 will still be 600 kg-m/s after any interaction.
Momentum = mass x speedSince Spaceship-#1 is not moving, it has no momentum. Their combined momentumis that of Spaceship-#2 alone.Momentum = mass x speed = 200 x 10 = 2,000 kilogram-meters per second.
The momentum of an object is given by the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. Therefore, the combined momentum of Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 after the collision would be the sum of their individual momentums. Since they have equal masses and are moving in the same direction, you can simply add their individual momentums to get the combined momentum.
The initial speed of spaceship 1 can be calculated using the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. Thus, velocity = momentum / mass. Plugging in the values, the initial speed of spaceship 1 is 3 m/s.
