The problem:

Answer the following:

How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

In my opinion, this depends on the time between the two events. If the events are spaced out a little then I believe the TIMER program measurements are fairly accurate. However, if the two events are spaced rather close together than TIMER program measurements are less accurate.

What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

I’m thinking the shortest time interval is 1-2 seconds

How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line): The percent error increases as timing intervals decrease.

How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):

Using the TIMER program to measure the positions there is a .01 accuracy level. However, I had some trouble reading the measurements do to the quality of the video. Because, the of the poor quality the accuracy is comprised to a certain extent.
