Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.
This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.
You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.
If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the form.
As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.
You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

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 .3-.4 seconds
#$&*
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
anything more than .3 seconds as long as it isnt repeatedly within .3 seconds
#$&*
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):
when it is very short like that more human error comes more into play as well as accuracy of the timer.
#$&*
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):
I was about 90% confident with it.
