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.

Answer:

$x=2.4365\ m$

and

$x=-1.4365\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

first charge, $q_1=5\times 10^{-3}\ C$

second charge, $q_2=3\times 10^{-3}\ C$

position of first charge, $x_1=-2\ m$

position of second charge, $x_2=-1\ m$

Now since there are only 2 charges and of the same sign so they repel each other. This repulsion will be zero at some point on the line joining the charges.

<u>Now, according to the condition, electric field will be zero where the effects of field due to both the charges is equal.</u>

$E_1=E_2$

since first charge is greater than the second charge so we may get a point to the right of the second charge and the distance between the two charges is 1 meter.

$\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1}{(r+1)^2} =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_2}{(r)^2}$
