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.
