Explanation:

Carbon-14 is normally used to date living organisms (all living things we know today contain mostly carbon). It can be used for samples up to about 60000 years old. Carbon-12 is the non-radioactive form that we encounter daily. Relative dating determines dates relative to each other, such as ordering of period or events.

Uranium 235 dating can determine date samples a million years old and up, so is more suited for rocks.

In the diagram, q1= -2.60*10^-9 C and

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the net electric field is:

$E_{net}=90.37\: N/c$

Explanation:

The electric field due to q1 is a vertical positive vector toward q1 (we will call it E1).

On the other hand, the electric field due to q2 is a horizontal positive vector toward q2(We will call it E2).

Knowing this, the <u>magnitude of the net electric</u> field will be the<u> E1 + E2. </u>

Let's find first E1 and E2.

The electric field equation is given by:

$|E_{1}|=k\frac{|q_{1}|}{d_{1}^{2}}$

Where:

k is the Coulomb constant (k = 9*10^{9} Nm²/C²)
q1 is the first charge
d1 is the distance from q1 to P

$|E_{1}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{|-2.60*10^{-9}|}{0.538^{2}}$

$|E_{1}|=80.84\: N/C$

And E2 will be:

$|E_{2}|=k\frac{|q_{2}|}{d_{2}{2}}$

$|E_{2}|=(9*10^{9})\frac{|-8.30*10^{-9}|}{1.36^{2}}$

$|E_{2}|=40.39\: N/C$

Finally, we need to use the Pythagoras theorem to find the magnitude of the net electric field.

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{1}^{2}+E_{2}^{2}}$

$E_{net}=\sqrt{80.84^{2}+40.39^{2}}$

$E_{net}=90.37\: N/c$

A traditional unit of length in Japan is the ken (1 ken 1.97 m). What are the ratios of (a) square kens to square meters and (b)

Roman55 [17]

If 1 ken is 1.97 meter, then 1 square ken is 3.8809 square meters, and one cubic ken is 7.645373. As for the cylindrical tank, the volume of it would be 10.835 times the radius of the cylinder time 1.97^2 times pi. As you didn't specify the radius, I can't give the exact answer but that would be how to get it.
