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): Within 1/6th of a second.

• 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): 1/8th

• 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): If something is happening in fast paced repetition then the timing may become erratic. With something that gives the person timing a chance to focus and anticipate the event they can more accurately measure that time.

• 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): It’s hard to know the precise moment that the pendulum is at it’s maximum swing. I think possibly within 1/2 second if not better.
