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 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
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (200) x (0) = 0 kg-m/sec, in some direction.Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (200) x (6) = 1200 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.Their combined momentum = 1200 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.
The idea is to use conservation of momentum. Calculate the total momentum before the collission, add it up, then calculate the combined velocity after the collision, based on the momentum.
Since momentum must be conserved, they move off at a combined speed of 5 m/s. (If the masses are different, write an equation that states that momentum is conserved: momentum before the collision equal momentum after the collision).
The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity), in the same direction as the velocity.Spaceship-1 . . . Momentum = (150) x (0) = 0 kg-m/sec, in some direction.Spaceship-2 . . . Momentum = (150) x (6) = 900 kg-m/sec, in the same direction.Their combined momentum = 900 kg-m/sec, in their common direction.
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
3 m/s
The new speed for the combined masses will be one-half the original velocity of the moving spaceship, since the momentum is applied to a mass twice as large.
2 m/s
3 m/s
2 m/sec in the direction of travel of Spaceship 2, assuming they are both in frictionless outer space.
2 m/s*heather :)*

When your Tamagotchi is in a spaceship, that means it wasn't very happy about it's life on earth. In the spaceship, the Tamagotchi will go back to Tama Planet. If this happened to you, you weren't taking very good care of your Tamagotchi. That Tamagotchi will be recorded in your memory book. to get your tamagotchi back to life you have to push a and c together to make it come back to life. ^_^
Their combined momentum will be equal to the first boxcar's original momentum before the collision.
Their are three seats per spaceship, and there are three spaceships together. So, 3x3=9.
