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):

very accurately, you could time two events as fast as you could click it twice. You would be the only thing to hinder how fast that would be. Maybe even as accurate to .000001 sec.

• 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 think my first answer addresses this as well

very accurately, you could time two events as fast as you could click it twice. You would be the only thing to hinder how fast that would be. Maybe even as accurate to .000001 sec.

• 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):

I would say it rises because of human error playing a contributing factor.

• 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):

accurate enough to get a fair estimate, within a few inches/centimeters.
