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: Its very difficult for me because I am not good at clicking the mouse at the exact time I need. However, the more I use it the better I tend to be getting.
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: one second intervals isn't too bad but when you need to click more than a few times during a second I'm not very accurate.
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: Just as I stated in the previous question, the faster the clicks the more room for error. I can't be but so accurate when a multitude of things are going at once.
How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: I was accurate enough I think to answer more generalized questions where we're not talking about fractions of a second. I could get good enough data to support most basic questions about rates or change.
