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 can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program with a good degree of accuracy.

• 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): The shortest interval I think I could measure with reasonable accuracy with the TIMER program would be within .01 seconds.

• 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): As the time between the events gets smaller, the percent error in timing intervals gets exponentially larger.

• 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 initial video, I was only able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum to a whole inch, not to anything smaller.
