    This document is a physics lab report on experiments about free fall and projectile motion. It includes sections for results, analysis and discussion, and conclusions for both the free fall and projectile motion experiments. For the free fall experiment, time and height data is recorded and used to calculate the gravitational acceleration g and percent error. For the projectile motion experiment, data on range and height is recorded and used to calculate velocities and motion parameters. Errors are identified and improvements suggested to increase the accuracy of the experiments.
