Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.

Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (300) x (3) = 900 kg-m/sec, in some direction.

Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (300) x (2) = 600 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.

Their combined momentum = 1,500 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.

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


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?

900kg-m/s


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.


Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg They collide Spaceship 1's final speed is 2 m/s, and Spaceship 2's final speed is 1 m/s in the same direction What is their combined momentum?

600kg-m/s apex miles

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 directionbut the answer is 1500 kg-ms
