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 that you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program relatively accurately. I think human error always has to be taken into consideration because you have to actually hit the mouse so I think that causes some discrepancies in the actual time.

• 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):
I would say .01 would be of reasonable accuracy. I think .1 is an extremely small margin to measure. .01 would be difficult, but I think it would get easier as you became more familiar with using the TIMER program.

• 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):
I think the percent error increases in timing intervals as the time between the events gets smaller. Its harder to keep track of the timings and its hard to manage the clicker in a short period of time. Therefore, I think the smaller the change in time gets, the harder it gets to get an accurate measurement.

• 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 thought my measurements were fairly accurate. I thought that it was an easier setup to visualize the motion therefore gaining the measurements was easier.
