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):

I think the time between two events can accurately be measured up to four decimal places.

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):

The shortest time interval would probably be around 0.10 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):

The percent error would increase as the time between events decreases. Dealing with more specific times would create a harder experiment, decreasing accuracy.

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 could accurate measure the positions by 1 ½ to 2 inches and the time by about 0.01 second.
