If someone wanted to analyze a set of tree rings but didn't know when the tree lived, how could they find out? 1.Use carbon-14 dating methods on the organic wood sample.
2.By which analyzing which historic layer of rock or dirt the tree was found in.
3.Find a tree that matched the ring pattern.
4.Estimate how old the tree was by the condition of the wood.

A

Explanation:

Carbon-14 testing of organic material such as wood can approximate the age by measuring the radioactive decay rate of the carbon-14 in the wood. From that a baseline for the trees age can be established and the ring patterns can by applied to a time period.

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.

the answer would be 32*f
