What is the speed of each section after the explosion

Reference no: EM13674759

A 785-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.30×103m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move by a speed of 2.30×103m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion.

Part A

What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion?

Part B- I was able to figure out...
