Question
21. ssm A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of
4900 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive charge
placed between them. Immediately after the explosion the velocity of the
1200-kg upper stage is 5700 m/s in the same direction as before the explo-
sion. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2400-kg lower
stage after the explosion?
