First Question:

I can accurately measure the time between two events using the timer program depending on how fast the event is supposed to take place. The longer the event is expected to take place, the easier it will be to get a more accurate reading. For example, if I am to time something that is expected to happen within a second, getting an accurate reading to the millisecond will be difficult. If I am to measure something that can be approximated to the second, that will be much simpler and doable.

Second Question:

I stated earlier that the longer it is expected to take, the easier it will be to get an accurate reading. I can safely say that if something is expected to take at least 5 seconds, I can get an accurate reading. It depends how precise and exact the time has to be. That is a more important factor.

Third Question:

As the time intervals get smaller and smaller, the percent error will grow larger and larger. This because it will be far more difficult to get an accurate reading.

Fourth Question:

The ball and pendulum happened quickly, I was able to get a decent measuring. I think if it took more than 5 seconds I could get a much better measuring. However, the ball and pendulum readings were accurate enough to perform the experiment.
