Help in PHYSICS!!! Medal and Fan for best help!

Specifically on free-fall and the acceleration. So originally we know that it is 9.8m/s^2. I conducted an experiment and got about 18m/s^2. There was a question that we have to answer and it says, "What might have accounted for your error?"

Personal error as name suggests.
It can also be system error. Maybe the instruments aren't working.
