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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The further the events are from each other the more accurate the time will be because the program is accurate only to within .1 of a second.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
A few seconds
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The percent error gets greater and greater when the intervals get smaller.
• 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 to within one-forth of a inch.
