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):

Fairly accurate the more times you do it the better responce you will get

#$&*

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):

3 seconds would be good

#$&*

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):

It would probably get less accurate as you would not be able to react as fast

#$&*

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):

Quite accurately
