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: **************** I believe that the timer program is accurate to about .01 seconds.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: **************** Within about .01 seconds.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: **************** The percent error in timing intervals gets larger as the time between events gets smaller because as the time the smaller the accuracy gets lower.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: **************** I would say within .5 cm. The video is decently fuzzy so it is hard to tell precisely at what point it is, but within the parameters of about .5 cm I think it is reasonable to be able to accurately measure their position.
