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:
Using the timer program I think you can measure the time between two events with less than a second of accuracy.
What is the timer program?
How accurate is it?
What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
answer/question/discussion:
I think the shortest time interval is a milasecond.
What is the shortest time interval?
How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
answer/question/discussion:
The percent error decreases because if the time between the events gets smaller than the chance of error in timing would get smaller.
