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):
From using the TIMER program, I think I can measure the time between two events most accurately to about 0.2 seconds. It took practice in the beginning to work on consistency and get comfrotable enough with using the program. I think that with continued practice, I can decrease the time and increase the accuracy of the measurements.

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 think I could measure a time interval of 1.0 seconds. I would need to have more practice to be more comfortable to accurately measure shorter intervals.

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 percernt error of the intervals increases as the events get smaller. Because the time between events is smaller, it is more difficult to get an accurate measurement which increases the chance for error.

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 had a hard time measuring the positions due to the quality of the video.
