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

Multiply mass x velocity for each spaceship. Add the results.
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.
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.

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.
