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.

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

 we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = \frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}

where ω (angular velocity) = \frac{2π}{time}

= \frac{2π }{5.5} = 1.14

Uk = \frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8} = 0.76

Kali left school and traveled toward her friend's house at an average speed of 40 km/h. Matt left one hour later and traveled in
zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 5 hr

Explanation:

Let kali moves toward east with velocity= V₁= 40 km/ h

Mat moves toward west with velocity = V₂= 50 km/hr

As Klai left one hour earlier = t₁= 1 hr

distance traveled in 1st hour = s₁ = v * t = 40 * 1 = 40 km

Remaining distance = 400 - 40 = 360 km

As they move in the opposite directions:

Relative speed= 40 + 50 = 90 km/ h

s = v * t

⇒ t = s / v

⇒ t₂ = 360 / 90

⇒ t₂ = 4 hr

Total time = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 1 hr + 4 hr

t = 5 hr
