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 believe I can measure two events accurately within six decimal places of each other using the timer program alone. However based on human error, I believe that it is possible to accurately measure time within two decimal places using the timer program.

• 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 the shortest time interval I would be able to measure would be within a rate of .2 or 5 clicks per second. Humans reaction time, slows down the process and allows for a lot of error in the system.

• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?

• 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):
In the intial video, I am not able to measure the position of the ball and the pendulum very accurately, because the reaction happens so quickly. It takes my brain to look to realize what happened before I am able to react.
