OK, Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks for responding! My thinking was...first I'd calculate the total final momentum of each craft after separation. Then create a diagram of the vector addition and use Law of Cosines where the resultant would be the "c" variable. The arrow representing P after separation of the first...
