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 think I can measure the time between two events with an error range of 0.5 seconds using the TIMER program.
#$&*
@& You can probably be significantly more accurate than that, as I believe you'll find out.*@
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
The shortest time interval I could measure with reasonable accuracy would depend on how quick I could click the time button.
#$&*
@& Not an unreasonable response, but most people have a reaction time which is greater than the interval with which they can click the mouse.*@
• 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):
The percent error would increase as the time between the events get smaller. This is because there is more room for error since the events are occurring closer together and require more precision.

• 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 think I was pretty accurate with my measurements of the ball and pendulum in the initial video. I provided a room for error of one second and a measurement of 10 cm.
