if I'm doing an experiment about one dimension motion on an inclined track with a cart, and get different values of g ( values like: 8.79, 8.66, 8.77) , knowing g is 9.8 which means I have a percentage error of 10, 12 and 11). what are the sources of errors ( the only I can be sure of is maybe my angular indicator does not permit me to have precise values, so I took estimation, but what else can be the sources of error). the angle  estimate value is 3 degree  acceleration=gsin(theta)

if I'm doing an experiment about one dimension motion on an inclined track with a cart, and get different values of g ( values like: 8.79, 8.66, 8.77) , knowing g is 9.8 which means I have a percentage error of 10, 12 and 11). what are the sources of errors ( the only I can be sure of is maybe my angular indicator does not permit me to have precise values, so I took estimation, but what else can be the sources of error).

the angle  estimate value is 3 degree 

acceleration=gsin(theta)
