Part A Find the separation of the 14N and 15N isotopes at the detector. Express your answer with the appropriate units. The amount of meat in prehistoric diets can be determined by measuring the ratio of the isotopes nitrogen-15 to nitrogen-14 in bone from human remains. Carnivores concentrate 15N, so this ratio tells archaeologists how much meat was consumed by ancient people. Suppose you use a velocity selector (Figure 1) to obtain singly ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 513 km/s and want to bend them within a uniform magnetic field of 0.510 T. The measured masses of these isotopes are 2.30 x 10-26 kg (14N) and 2.50 x 10-26 kg (15N). μΑ w ? 8 = 1.5 cm Submit Previous Answers Request Answer Figure 1 of 1 X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining Provide Feedback Velocity selector selects particles with speed v. Particle detector mm Magnetic field separates particles by mass; "the greater a particle's mass, the larger is the radius of its path. ta
