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):I think I can accurately measure time between two events using the timer down to .000001seconds. I think this because that was the greatest number of digits I got when i pressed the timing button as fast as i could.

• 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 interval I think I would be able to measure using the timer would be .001seconds. This was the least amount of digits I got when pressing the timer button as fast as I could.

• 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 becomes greater as the intervals get smaller.

• 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):

Fairly accurate I think. I was able to stop the running clock exactly where I wanted it.
