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 we can measure to within .01 sec using the TIMER program.

• 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 was can .01 sec time interval with a fair amount of accuracy.
#$&*
@& I agree.
The actual interval turns out to be 1/64 second, about .015 second. So .01 second is a little optimistic, but a good rule of thumb.*@
• 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):
As the interval gets smaller, the percent error increases.

• 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):
I believe I accurately measured the positions of the ball and pendulum to within 1.5 inches.
