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: **************** Including error in human response time, I think my accuracy would be within +/- .2 sec.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: **************** I would limit the time interval to 1 second.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: **************** The percent error increases directly when the time between the events get smaller.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: **************** Again, I measured within .2 of a second I believe. The length, I would give a tolerance of 5mm since I held the spot with the tips of my fingers, being careful to not let the string touch my knuckles at all.
