A 790-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.60×103 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.80×103 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion
What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion?
