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.
momentum = mass × velocity Assuming they are separate, the total momentum is 200 kg × 0 m/s + 200 kg × 10 m/s = 2000 kg 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.

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.
Multiply mass x velocity for each spaceship. Add the results.
To calculate the magnitude of the spaceship's velocity, you would divide the momentum by the spaceship's mass. In this case, 20000 kg·m/s / 500 kg = 40 m/s. Therefore, the spaceship's velocity has a magnitude of 40 m/s to the left.
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.
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 momentum of the spaceship is given by the product of its mass and velocity. Therefore, the velocity can be calculated by dividing the momentum by the mass of the spaceship. In this case, the magnitude of the velocity is 40 m/s to the left.
