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:
If the two events are spaced a fair amount of time between them, the TIMER program I think is very accurate. If the two events are very close together, the accuracy of the TIMER program drops drastically.
• What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?
->->->->->->->->->->->-> answer/question/discussion:
For reasonable accuracy, I would think there would have to be at least 1-2 seconds between the intervals.
• How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?
->->->->->->->->->->->-> answer/question/discussion:
The percent of error increases as the amount of time between intervals decreases.
• How accurately are you able to measure the positions of the ball and the pendulum in the initial video?
->->->->->->->->->->->-> answer/question/discussion:
I am able to accurately measure the positions within about a .01 range of accuracy on the computer screen. The video however was very blurry when I paused to get my readings, so if I had any error it wouldn’t be the computer’s TIMER, but the quality of the video that is to blame.
