Two carts, cart X and cart Y , are initially at rest and placed next to each other on a horizontal track, as shown in Figure 1. A switch on top of cart Y can be pressed so that a compressed spring inside of the cart expands and pushes a plunger outward, causing the two carts to recoil, as shown in Figure 2. Both carts have identical but unknown masses, M . The carts are designed so that bars of additional but unknown mass can be added and secured to the carts. A group of students are asked to determine the relationship of the momentum of the cart X –bar system to the momentum of the cart Y –bar system immediately after recoil. The students have access to equipment that can be found in a typical school physics laboratory.

i do not know answer sorry guys

Explanation: sorry hope you better

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

your answer is c! hope this : )
