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):
Honestly it depends on how long it takes from starting and ending the timer… I'm obviously going to be less accurate if my time frame is a half a second.
If my time frame was 15 or even 5 seconds my accuracy would increase. In any case, i would say that my ability to use the TIMER program would be accurate un to .1 to .01 seconds depending on the amount of time i have between each click.

• 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):
1/2 second. Maybe a 1/4 of a second… But i've never had to time something that would be a 1/4 of a second long.

• 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):
Percent error would rise...

• 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 thought I was quite accurate, actually.
