**Two carts, A and B, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the top-view diagram below. A constant force of magnitude \( F_o \) is exerted on each cart as it travels between two marks on the table. Cart B has a greater mass than cart A.**
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows two carts, A and B, each being pushed by a force \( F_o \) in the same direction on a frictionless table.
- Cart A is on top while Cart B is below it, and both are marked to indicate that Cart B has a greater mass than Cart A (\( m_B > m_A \)).
- The table features two marks labeled "First mark" and "Second mark," indicating the path each cart travels.
**Question 1:**
Is the kinetic energy of cart A *greater than, less than,* or *equal to* the kinetic energy of cart B after they have passed the second mark?
**Question 2:**
Is the magnitude of the final momentum of cart A (\( p_{A_f} \)) *greater than, less than,* or *equal to* the magnitude of the final momentum of cart B (\( p_{B_f} \))? Explain.
