A 875-kgkg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.80×103 m/sm/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.40×103 m/sm/s relative to each other along the original line of motion.
-What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion?
-How much energy was supplied by the explosion? [Hint: What is the change in kinetic energy as a result of the explosion?
