Two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity

Reference no: EM13656562

A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4260 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive charge placed between them. Immediately after explosion the velocity of the 1360-kg upper stage is +5970 m/s. What is the velocity (direction and magnitude) of the 2190-kg lower stage immediately after the explosion?
