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 accurately. The timer itself is very accurate, but I could cause many different

inaccuracies.

#$&*

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):

0.2 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):

The percent error increases significantly as the time becomes shorter.

#$&*

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):

I was able to time them consistently with less percent error as the pendulum string got longer.

My accuracy got better throughout the experiment.
