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):

I can accurately measure the time between two events using the TIMER program to .01 second as i did in the Initial Timing Experiment.

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):

I could measure an interval of .01 second with complete accuracy.

#$&*

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 gets smaller because the two values of time are getting closer and closer together.

@&

You're dividing by the time interval. So unless your error gets smaller and smaller, the percent error will get larger.
