Answer the following:
How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program?
Your accuracy increases the more times you repeat the experiment. If you repeat an experiment 10 times the results are going to be more accurate than if you only repeat the experiment three times. The more data you have the better outcome your conclusion will be.
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
The shortest time interval for the slightest accuracy would have to be three. Any less than three would be basically a 50/50 chance with the results you are trying to figure up for the experiment.
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
The percent error gets larger. The less time taken between events gives you a higher chance of causing a mistake within the events. The more time taken between events gives you a less chance of making a mistake, therefore, the more likely your results will be accurate. The less time taken will give you less accurate results.
How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
My videos still do not work. I've sent several emails but I'm guessing the gliches are still interferring with our contact.
