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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I would think I could keep the times within .5 second, realistically.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : Probably somewhere around a half second.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : The percent error changes drastically because there is no room for a big error when the timer is only on .5 second.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : I feel like I was reasonably close to the actual times for both the ball and the pendulum because I did each one a few times and took the average.
