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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I would say you can measure the time between two events within .001 of a second.
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I would say time no less than a second would be an accurate measure.
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : You will have a higher percent error as the time gets smaller because you are looking at time with larger decimal places. This leaves room for significant error.
How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : You cant measure the position of the ball and the pendulum very accurately. It is hard to even clearly distinguish which hit first.
