• How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program?
o I believe the timer program is fairly accurate. Between two events the timer program would probably measure between .001 sec of the two.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
o Again I think the shortest time interval would be .001 sec with the timer program. However, it determines on the operator and their skill to efficiently use the timer program as well as controlling their muscle movements.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
o I may be wrong in my thinking, but I believe the percent error gets larger as the time between the events get smaller. My reasoning behind this statement is that the faster things are timed, the more overload is put on the timer. Thus, causing more of a percent error.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
o Again I think the measurements were pretty accurate. It had a lot to do with my reaction time as well. However, the rhythm of the pendulum and the positions of the ball weren’t extremely fast so it probably produced a more accurate time because my reaction time was better than at faster paces.
