An object that decreases its speed also decreases the magnitude of its velocity and decreases the magnitude of its momentum. Momentum is mass time velocity. Less velocity, less momentum. Technically, velocity is a vector and therefor momentum is a vector. One can speak of smaller or larger magnitudes of a vector, but not smaller and larger vectors because vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity.

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.
Use the symbols 'm' for the object's mass, and 'v' for its velocity. Momentum is defined as 'mv' = the product of the object's mass and velocity. If the velocity doubles, then the new momentum is 'm' times '2v' = 2mv = 2 times (mv). This is just double the original momentum. So you can see that the magnitude of momentum is directly proportional to the magnitude of velocity, provided the mass remains constant.
Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.

Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.
Momentum = (mass) times (velocity)mass = (Momentum) divided by (velocity)

Momentum is just mass times velocity. We assume that given that you can do the arithmetic.
momentum = mass x velocity => mass = momentum / velocity
That is true because momentum is mass times velocity
