Suppose that you can reproduce a short-time physical or chemical event over and over again. Discuss possible sources of errors associated with measuring the duration of the event using a stopwatch. (\"Human error\" is not a source.) What effect do the sources of error have on the data? Solution There can be various ways by which measurement of time using stopwatch may vary and how it will affect the error. 1.there might be internal errors in the watch, which might delay or extend reading (technical error). It may slow down the time or increase it and accordingly vary the data. 2. There might be error due to relativity, if object is moving at high speed. Again it may increase or decrease the value depending on the condition..
