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):
.01seconds, I was awful at being able to discern the start and finish of two almost simultaneous events.
@&
I believe that's pretty much inevitable. We as a species do have our neurological limits.

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):
0.001 accurately with an assumption of possibly 1 decimal place more.This is because if I remember correctly, you can assume 1 extra decimal place beyond the demarcated measuring ability of an instrument.
@&
The question asked about an interval you could measure.
You couldn't measure an interval that short because you couldn't perceive an interval that short. You also couldn't click the mouse that quickly; I doubt that the mouse could even respond that quickly.

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):
It would increase because as number of decimal points increased so would the percent error get larger.

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):
0.01 seconds
