The reaction of radiodecay of carbon C-14 is
C-14 --> N-14 + e- + (ve)
where e- is an electron and (ve) is an electron-type antineutrino.
Basically, when the carbon nucleus (atomic number: 6, mass number: 14) decays, a neutron of the nucleus converts into a proton (therefore, the mass number remains the same, 14, but the atomic number increases by 1, therefore it becomes nitrogen) and releases an electron-antineutrino pair. 

So, the correct answer is C), N-14.

10points asap <br><br> A force of 30 N acts upon a 7 kg block. Calculate its acceleration.
nekit [7.7K]
Hello! Assuming that the only force acting on the mass is 30N...

Fnet = 30N
Fnet = ma (mass x acceleration)
ma = 30N
a = 30N / m
a = 30N / 7kg
a = 4.2857 m/s^2
a = 4 m/s^2

I hope this helps!

A ball is dropped from 8.5 meters above the ground. If it begins at rest, how long does it take to hit the ground?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 8.5 meters

vi = 0

a = 9.81

t = ?

Formula

d = vi * t + 1/2 a t^2

Solution

8.5 = 0 + 1/2 9.81 * t^2       multiply both sides by 2

8.5 = 4.095 t^2                  Divide both sides by 4.095

8.5/4.095 = t^2

1.7329 = t^2                       Take the square root of both sides

t = 1.316

It takes 1.316 seconds to hit the ground.
