A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4290 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive charge placed between them. Immediately after the explosion the velocity of the 1450-kg upper stage is +5510 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2030-kg lower stage immediately after the explosion? Number 6965.37 Units m/s
