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 that I can measure them pretty accurately but not entirely. As long as I keep using the same program though it would not really affect the values too much at all.

• 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 with reasonable accuracy would be a value accurate to the 100ths place because any other values would have a larger difference.

• 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 error gets larger because there is more chance of error for values because they are getting closer to each other.

• 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):

Since the values did not have to be extremely close in time, it was not as difficult to get a pretty accurate time. Seeing as how it takes time to click, there was enough time between movements to be prepared to click.
