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):
Fairly accurately while still having minimal room for errors caused by the device and human error.
#$&*
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Roughly 0.001 seconds
#$&*
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):
As the length of the event gets smaller, there is less room for error which actually means that errors are more likely to occur because of experimental limitations. If you have a longer time period to do something, the time will be a better estimate and will likely have less error.
