Spaceship 1 and spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 m/s, and spaceship 2 has a speed of 10 m/s. What is the magnitude of their combined momentum

2000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity whose magnitude is given by

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

and its direction is the same as the velocity.

In this problem, we have:

- Spaceship 1 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 0 m/s (zero velocity)

So its momentum is

- Spaceship 2 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 10 m/s (velocity)

So its momentum is

Therefore, the combined momentum of the two spaceships is

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
