According to the scientists at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Houston, Texas, Space Shuttle rocket boosters detach at an altitude of 47,549 meters above Earth's surface. As a result of their vertical velocity at the time of separation they continue upward to a maximum altitude of 72,542 meters. What was their velocity at the time of separation?

Remember: Gravity is the only acceleration acting on the rocket boosters.
