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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

a chance of By a TIMER program we can measure the time not more 95% accurately because there could be error in this program.

• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Researchers used short pulses of laser light to produce images of electrons leaving atoms and recorded what happened to within 100 attoseconds. So now a day, it could be possible to measure 100 attoseconds which is consider the shortest interval of time ever to be measured.

• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

I don’t think that the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

No more accurate then 80 %.
