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 you can measure the time between two events kinda accurate because you can still mess up with using the program and can get the measurements wrong but if you
are careful I think the program can be pretty accurate.

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 the shortest time interval that you could measure accurate would be around 0.01 seconds.

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 think the percent error would decrease because there would be less likely to make a mistake.
@& Your percent error has the error as numerator and the time interval as denominator. A smaller denominator will tend to make the result larger, not smaller. There is a lower limit on how much error you can have, so the numerator will always be at least a certain size.*@

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):
Not very likely because it is hard to see what position the ball and the pendulum were at in the video. I think I could have messed up where the objects were
positioned at.
