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.
1800 kg-m/sec 600 kg x 3 meters/sec (in the direction spaceship 2 was headed). Since the first spaceship had all the initial momentum, only the velocity of the combined mass will change.

Momentum = (mass) times (velocity)9,000 = 300 x speedSpeed = 9,000 / 300 = 30 meters per second

Multiply mass x velocity for each spaceship. Add the results.
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.
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
1800 kg-m/sec 600 kg x 3 meters/sec (in the direction spaceship 2 was headed). Since the first spaceship had all the initial momentum, only the velocity of the combined mass will change.
