Two joggers, Jim and Tom, are both running at a speed of 4.10 m/s (see the figure). Jim has a mass of 75.0 kg. and Tom has a mass of 54.0 kg. Find (a) the kinetic energy and (b) the momentum of the two-jogger system when Jim and Tom are both running due north as in part a of the figure. Find (c) the kinetic energy and (d) the momentum of the two-jogger system when Jim is running due north and Tom is running due south, as in part b of the figure.
