The third and fourth stages of a rocket are coasting in space with a velocity of 18
Question:
The third and fourth stages of a rocket are coasting in space with a velocity of 18 000 km/h when a small explosive charge between the stages separates them. Immediately after separation the fourth stage has increased its velocity to v4 = 18 060 km/h. What is the corresponding velocity v3 of the third stage? At separation the third and fourth stages have masses of 400 and 200 kg, respectively.
