Spaceship 1 and spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300 kg. spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 600 kg-m/s. what is its initial speed?

Initial speed of the spaceship 1, v = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of spaceship 1 and 2 that have equal mass are 300 kg

Initial momentum of the spaceship 1 is 600 kg-m/s

To find :

We need to find the initial momentum of spaceship 1.

Solve :

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and its velocity. Its SI unit is kg-m/s. Mathematically, it is given by :

v = 2 m/s

Therefore the initial speed of spaceship 1 is 2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
