Answer to Question 1

All measured accelerations would have lower values.

Answer to Question 2

The greatest possible source of error is probably in the measurement of the time
because of problems in determining the moment of starting the timer and the exact
moment the mass hits the floor. Also individual reaction times usually cause rather
large errors.
