Answer:- C. Hafnium.

Solution:- Mass of the sample is 46.0 g and it's volume is 3.5cm^3 .

From mass and volume, we can calculate it's density using the formula:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

density=\frac{46.9g}{3.5cm^3}

density=\frac{13.4g}{cm^3}

On the basis of the density, this substance could either be mercury or hafnium. Since the substance is a solid at room temperature where as mercury is liquid. So, it can't be mercury.

The right choice is C) Hafnium.

What is the period of a wave with a frequancy of 3 Hz and an amplitude off 0.01
lara31 [8.8K]

0.33 seconds is the period of a wave with a frequency of 3 Hz and an amplitude off 0.01 .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , period of a wave with a frequency of 3 Hz and an amplitude off 0.01 . We know that period of a wave is amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . In order to calculate period of wave we use frequency and the formula use is period = \frac{1}{frequency} . We are given that frequency = 3 Hz:

period = \frac{1}{frequency}

⇒ period = \frac{1}{frequency}

⇒ period = \frac{1}{3 Hz}

⇒ period = 0.33 seconds

Therefore, 0.33 seconds is the period of a wave with a frequency of 3 Hz and an amplitude off 0.01 .

Of the different states of matter listed below, which is typically the most dense?
stiv31 [10]
The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.
