The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation
where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and 
is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
Solution:
Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by '
'
and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by '
'
Given that:
= 1.35 m/s
= 1.29 m/s
Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:
(1)
Substituting values in eqn (1), we get
= 0.03 m/s
Answer:
0.72 Hz minimum frequency
Explanation:
When the damping is negligible,Amplitude is given as
here 
= (6.30)/(0.135) = 46.67 N/m kg
= 1.70/(0.135)(0.480) = 26.2 N/m kg
From the above equation , rearranging for ω,
⇒ ω² =46.67 ± 26.2 = 72.87 or 20.47
⇒ ω = 8.53 or 4.52 rad/s
Frequency = f
ω=2 π f
⇒ f = ω / 2π = 8.53 /6.28 or 4.52 / 6.28 = 1.36 Hz or 0.72 Hz
The lower frequency is 0.72 Hz and higher is 1.36 Hz
28 degrees celsius converts to 82.4 degrees in Fahrenheit :)
