Dinosaur fossils are too old to be reliably dated using carbon-14, which has a half-life of about 5730 years. suppose we had a 68 million year old dinosaur fossil. how much of the living dinosaur's 14c would be remaining today? (round your answer to five decimal places.)

Athin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge q is bent into a circle of radius r. the central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z-axis, with the origin at the center of the ring. a) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = 0? n/c (b) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = infinity? n/c (c) in terms of r, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum? r (d) if r = 4.00 cm and q = 9.00 µc, what is the maximum magnitude? n/c

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?

The center of a long frictionless rod is pivoted at the origin, and the rod is forced to rotate in a vertical plane with constant angular velocity \omega. write down the lagrangian for a bead of mass m threaded on the rod, using r as your generalized coordinate, where r, \phi are the polar coordinates of the bead. (notice that \phi is not an independent variable since it is fixed by the rotation of the rod tobe \phi = \omega * t) solve lagrange's equation for r(t). what happens if the bead is initially at rest at the origin? if it is released from any point ro > 0, show that r(t) eventually grows exponentially. explain your results in terms of the centrifugal force m* \omega ^2 *r.
