Homework Statement


Sorry if this is in the wrong place again... I have been asked to prepare a general overview of some aspects of quantum mechanics. This is extremely general, and it was intended we choose our own topics. Bearing in mind I'm 15 and self-tutoring, is this a reasonable attempt...?
I need to know if I'm missing any key vocab, or if I have not understood the topic correctly. I'm sorry it's quite long... Thanks for any help!

Does this not qualify as a question?
 
Please! This is really important!

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
