a. The most momentum is attained by James.
b. The resultant force acting on her is 90.77N.
c. Time taken for him to stop is 3.24 s
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
Momentum of any object is the product of the velocity of the object and its mass.
P =mv
James has a mass of 98 kg and Basma has a mass of 59 kg. James is running at 3.0 m/s, while Basma is running at 4.0 m/s.
a.
Substitute the values, we get
P jane= 98 kg x 3
P jane= 294 kg.m/s
Momentum of Basma, is
P Basma = 59 kg x 4
P Basma = 236 kg.m/s
Therefore, the momentum is large for James.
b. Basma approaches a road, so she stops quickly. It takes her 2.6 seconds to stop. The resultant force acting on her
F. t = P Basma
F =[ 236/2.6
F = 90.77 N
Thus, the resultant force on Basma is 90.77 N.
c. James also stops for the road. If he were to have the same resultant force acting on him, Time taken for him to stop is
F = 90.77 = P james/t
t = 294 / 90.77
t = 3.24 s
Thus, time taken for James to stop for the same resultant force is 3.24 s
