A two-stage rocket is traveling at 4300 m/s before the stages separate. The 3500-kg first stage is pushed away from the second stage with an explosive charge, after which the first stage continues to travel in the same direction at a speed of 2700 m/s.
How fast is the 1900-kg second stage traveling after separation?
Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter a positive value if the stage moves in the direction of motion of the rocket and a negative value if the stage moves in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the rocket.

Step 1
Given:
A two-stage rocket.
Before separation of stages, rocket's velocity is
Mass of first stage is
Mass of second stage is
After separation first stage travels in the same direction with velocity
Consider positive value if stage moves in direction of motion of rocket and negative is stage moves in opposite to rocket's motion.
Find:
Velocity of second stage after separation.
