Momentum/Kinetic Energy Stacking

Momentum/Kinetic Energy "Stacking"

Just a simple question... if a mass moving (ignoring friction) with momentum "1" gets a boost (via something such as a rocket) that would, if the mass was not in motion, accelerate it to momentum "1", then will the mass be now at momentum "2"?

Thanks

Yes. (or 2*1, if you're considering 1 to be some variable)

Oh excellent :3
