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 believe you could accurately measure the time between two events with the program up to .01.

• 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 believe reasonable accuracy intervals would be a second just because while watching the video it was hard to not get in the middle of numbers.

• 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 believe if the events get smaller then the percent error would increase just due to accuracy. If events are spread apart then it is easy to focus upon the event and hitting the timer at the accurate time.

• 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):

On my measurements I used inches just due to the blurriness on the screen those were the most accurate marks that appeared to me.
