A space vehicle is traveling at 5900 km/hrelative to the Earth whenthe exhausted rocket motor is disengagedand sent backward with aspeed of 99 km/hrelative to the command module. The mass of themotor is four timesthe mass of the module. What is the speed of thecommand modulerelative to Earth just after the separation?
1km/h

Did you symbolizethe mass of the moduleand the mass of the rocket? What, then, isthe total mass? What isthe initial momentum? (Choose the positivedirection on an axis andthen use a sign to indicate thedirection.) What are the momentum ofthe module and the momentum ofthe rocket after separation? You canreplace the module's velocityby using the relative velocity. Is themodule's velocity greaterthan or less than the rocket's velocity bythe amount of therelative speed?

According to two conservation laws: the conservation of energy andthe conservation of momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity and so,for example, it can "be negative". On the other hand, energy isalways positive. How do these differences change the ways in whichthe two conservation laws work?

An object disintegrates into two fragments. One fragment has mass 1.00 MeV/c2 and momentum 1.75 MeV/c in the positive x direction. The other fragment has mass 1.50 MeV/c2 and momentum 2.00 MeV/c in the positive y direction. Find the (a) mass and (b) speed of the original object. Hint: Use conservation of energy and momentum.
