The problem:
Answer the following:
How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program? I personally think you can get a fairly accurate measure to the hundred thousandths
answer/question/discussion:
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy? I am not for sure exactly how to say this, but as fast as you could tap your mouse twice.
answer/question/discussion:
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller? The percent error goes to a low percent of error as the time gets closer.
answer/question/discussion:
How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video? I think pretty accurate almost to the ten thousandths of a second.
