A space shuttle, while travelling at a speed of $4000 k m / h$ with respect to the earth, disconnects and ejects a module backward, weighing one fifth residual part. If the shuttle ejects the disconnected module at a speed of $100 k m / h R$ with respect to the state of the shuttle before the ejection, find the final velocity of the shuttle.

Solution

Formula,

$M u = M v + m (- 100)$

a negative sign denotes that the module moves in the opposite direction.

$M \times 4000 = M v + \frac{M}{5} (- 100)$

$v = 4020 k m / h$
