The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archaeological artefacts. 14C decays to 14N by a process known as beta decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (also known as a beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted in opposite directions to each other. The electron has a speed of 5 x 10 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 5 x 1024 kg m/s. n as What is the recoil speed of the resulting 14N nucleus?

Two rolling carts are moving toward each other at the same constant speed of 10m/s. Cart 1 travels to the right with a mass m1 = 0.2kg and while Cart 2 travels to the left with a mass m2 = 0.4kg. Momentum p→ is a vector defined as p→=mv→. Draw a momentum vector for each cart.
