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):
To about .1 seconds, due to human error
#$&*
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
About half a second, because of the time it takes a human to recognize events and hit the button.
#$&*
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 interval gets smaller, a given error, say .01 seconds, makes up a larger percentage of the measured time.

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):
Within 1 in, any more accurate and the speed of the camera and motion blur becomes an issue.
