Carbon (14C), an isotope of carbon, decays into Nitrogen (14N), which is a stable isotope of nitrogen, in the reaction seen below via beta decay.
14 C → 14 N + e⁻ + νe
Determine what the total kinetic energy will be and write the final answer using the appropriate unit of measurement (MeV, GeV, or TeV) for the Nitrogen (14N) isotope and for the electron. You may ignore the antineutrino.
