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: Fairly accurately depending on how far apart the events are.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: Between 5 and 10 seconds.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: The percent error increases.
You are right, but there are only two or three possible answers, so you have to explain how you reasoned out the answer.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: Depending on the video’s contrast, it could vary.
