An Apollo Lunar Module A and Command and Service Module B are moving through space far from any other bodies (so that their gravitational effects can be ignored). When θ = 30°, the two craft are separated using an internal linear elastic spring whose constant is k = 200,000 N/m and is precompressed 0.5 m. Noting that the mass of the Command and Service Module is about 29,000 kg and that the mass of the Lunar Module is about 15,100 kg, determine their postseparation velocities if their common preseparation velocity is 11,000 m/s.
