A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4870m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive charge placed between them. Immediately after the explosion the velocity of the 1470−kg upper stage is +5650m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2970-kg lower stage immediately after the explosion?
