Which tool would be likely to provide the most accurate measurement of time in a laboratory experiment involving sprinting times of students?

A stopwatch is designed to measure short time intervals, such as how long a student takes to sprint, and can usually be started and stopped precisely. A wall clock and calendar are meant for tracking broader times, while an egg timer is generally less precise for recording sprint times. Therefore, the stopwatch is the most accurate choice.
