    Calculating Carbon Decay: Kinetic Energy, Mass, and Activity

    Homework Statement The radiocarbon in our bodies is one of the naturally occurring sources of radiation. Let's see how large a dose we receive. 14C decays via Beta- emission, and 18% of body mass is Carbon. A) Write out the decay scheme of carbon-14 and show the end product. (A neutrino...
