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:
I would estimate to the .01 place because of the timer interval being around .01375 or so.
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion:
0.1s because I cant click the button faster.
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion:
Percent error gets much larger as the time between events gets smaller since the time interval is fixed.
How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion:
Due to the frame rate the clock intervals are not as accurate as the timer. I would guess around 0.1s accuracy. Since the tape measure is unreadable I would also guess that I could estimate with 0.1in accuracy.
