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):
I would guess the program can accurately measure between .01 and .001, though with
operator error, a more accurate statement may be that it can accurately measure between .1
and .001 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):
If I practiced extremely well, I believe I could get reasonably accurate readings 0.01 seconds
apart.

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):
As the time between events shortens, the percent error would likewise diminish as it approaches
100%.

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):
Without being able to zoom up on the ruler for closer analysis, I think I would be hard
pressed to accurately measure within .16 inches.
