Answer:

Find the change in momentum of the upper stage, that is:

∆p = m(vf - vi)

m being the mass of the upper stage

vf being the final velocity which was given

vi being the initial which was also given

find ∆p

then use ∆p in the same equation

∆p being the answer you got above

m being the mass of the lower stage (given)

vi being the initial velocity (given)

vf being the final velocity of the lower stage which you were asked to find

Step-by-step explanation:

During a collision the change in momentum (∆p) for both objects is equal regardless of their speeds or masses before or after the equation
