Speed of command module relative to earth after separati0n

Reference no: EM13662580

A space vehicle is traveling at 5900 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward with a speed of 99 km/h relative to the command module. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth now after the separation?
