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 think it is accurate, at most, to 0.01 seconds.

• 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):
Depending on the experiment, and how much it relies on human input, I think accuracy could be 0.1s to 0.05s.

• 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 of error gets smaller and smaller, because an error of 0.1s over 5.1s is 10x larger than that of 0.01s over 5.10s.

• 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):
It depends on the video quality watched, but I was only able to clearly see inches and the spaces inbetween. Because of this I felt confident I could measure to 0.5in.
