momentum = mass x velocity, so velocity is momentum/mass. If the question asks for the magnitude then it's probably the absolute magnitude rather than a directional value (which would be negative as the space ship is heading to the left.

A spaceship has a momentum of 20000 kgms to the left and a mass of 500 kg What is the magnitude of its velocity?

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.


Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg Spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 900 kgms What is its initial speed?

The initial speed of Spaceship 1 can be calculated using the formula for momentum: momentum = mass x velocity. Since momentum = 900 kgm/s and mass = 150 kg, rearranging the formula gives velocity = momentum / mass. Therefore, the initial speed of Spaceship 1 is 6 m/s.


What is formula of momentum?

The units are KgMs- why? Velocity is a vector Quantity and mass is a scalar quantity.


Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 150 kg Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 ms and Spaceship 2 has a speed of ms They collide and stick together What is their speed?

momentum must be conserved momentum = mass*velocity initially momentum = 150*6 +150*0 = 900 kgms-1 final momentum = 300*combinedvelocity = 900 so the final velocity must be 3 ms-1

What is the momentum and derive the formula for the momentum?

Momentum is the product of the mass and the velocity of an object. It's SI unit is kgms-1. Correct, but perhaps more easily interpreted as kgm/s.


Two small space probes each have a mass of 100 kg. The momentum of one of the probes is 1100000 kgms. What is its velocity?

The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by its velocity. In this case, the momentum is 1100000 kgm/s and the mass is 100 kg. So, to find the velocity, divide the momentum by the mass: velocity = momentum / mass = 1100000 kgm/s / 100 kg = 11000 m/s.


How angular momentum is equals to kgms?

Angular momentum is calculated as the product of a rotating object's moment of inertia (I) and its angular velocity (ω). The units of angular momentum are kg m^2/s, which is the same as the units for moment of inertia multiplied by angular velocity (kg m^2 * 1/s). This relationship is based on the principles of rotational motion and conservation of angular momentum.
