Asst 1 Question 2

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): Using the Timer Program, the accuracy of timing between two events, is based on human reaction and judgment time.

#$&*

• 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): The shortest time I believe I could measure with reasonable accuracy, would be perhaps to the half second.

#$&*

• 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): I believe that as the change in the time between events gets smaller, the percent error gets larger. After the point that human accuracy wanes, the error percentage increases significantly.

#$&*

• 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 think I am able to measure the objects in the initial video, up to about a half a second.
