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):

Using the TIMER program, I would estimate that you can accurately measure the time between two events within .05 seconds.

• 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 would estimate maybe .5 of a second.

#$&*

• 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):

Percent error in timing intervals decreases as the time between events gets smaller.

#$&*

• 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):

I said only within quarters of a foot. I could only see the big markings on the tape measure, none of the small ones. So I would only be able to confidently guess within these marked parameters.
