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):
The rate of accuracy would be about a 75 % due to the human error factor.
#$&*
@& For a specific interval the accuracy can be measured in percent, but the percent does depend on the length of the interval being measured.
No interval length is indicated here, so 75% is not an appropriate answer.
The accuracy could be indicated in seconds or parts of a second.*@
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
The shortest time interval would be within 1 second.
#$&*
• 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 increases as the timing intervals decreases.
#$&*
@& Right. This is related to my previous note.*@
