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):

.01 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):

.01 seconds

#$&*

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 because the change in the denominator would get smaller and 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 could only estimate the positions to within 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
