Reset the stopwatch when switching fields #320

Closed matthew-blackman closed 2 months ago

matthew-blackman commented 2 months ago

In https://github.com/phetsims/projectile-data-lab/issues/297, it was discovered that it doesn't make sense to keep the stopwatch running when switching fields. The timed projectile is no longer visible, so the timer doesn't apply. We don't want to introduce a field-specific timer state for the sake of simplicity. Let's clear and pause the stopwatch when switching fields to save the user a click.
