1. Space probes may be separated from their launchers by exploding bolts. (They bolt away from one
another.) Suppose a 4100-kg satellite uses this method to separate from the 1200-kg remains of its
launcher, and that 3000 J of kinetic energy is supplied to the two parts.
Assume that the satellite and launcher are at rest before separation and the direction of the
satellite's velocity after separation is positive. Gravity is negligible compared to the force of explosion.
Consider: Let the subscripts i and f denote the initial and final velocities and the subscripts s and/
denote the satellite and the launcher, respectively. How many knowns are there and how many
unknowns?
