The last stage of a rocket is traveling at a speed of 7600 m/s. This last stage is made up of two parts that are clamped together-namely, a rocket case with a mass of 290.0 kg and a payload capsule with a mass of 150.0 kg. When the clamp is released, a compressed spring causes the two parts to separate with a relative speed of 910.0 m/s. (a) What are the speeds of the two parts after they have separated? Assume that all velocities are along the same line. (b) Find the total kinetic energy of the two parts before and after they separate and account for the difference, if any.
