Answer the following:
• How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program?
answer/question/discussion: **************** I think using the TIMER program you can almost find out the exact answer.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion: **************** Seconds
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion: **************** The shorter amount of time between intervals the harder it will be to get the percent error.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
answer/question/discussion: **************** If I recall correctly I did it to the approximate centimeter, it was hard to read on the video. I assume it would be more accurate in person.
