A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of


A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4940 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive charge placed between them. Immediately after the explosion the velocity of the 1000-kg upper stage is +5930 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2600-kg lower stage immediately after the explosion?
