1. Fluid Flow Experiment: Measuring the time taken for water to flow through a nozzle, recording height values, plotting graphs, and determining constants from the linear relationship between flow rate and height.

2. Graphical Analysis & Data Processing: Recording experimental values, calculating mean heights, plotting \\( \\frac{1}{T} \\) vs. \\( h_m \\), determining gradient and y-intercept, and using them to find physical constants.

3. Momentum Conservation Experiment: Measuring the motion of a swinging rod and magnet system, recording displacement values, calculating heights, and determining uncertainties in measurements.

4. Verification of Theoretical Relationships: Testing the relationship between mass and height using experimental data, calculating values of a constant, and justifying significant figures based on measurement precision.

5. Uncertainty & Error Analysis: Estimating percentage uncertainties, identifying limitations in experimental procedures, discussing sources of errors in measurements, and analyzing whether experimental results support theoretical predictions.

6. Experimental Improvements & Accuracy Enhancement: Proposing changes to the experimental setup, refining measurement techniques, suggesting improved apparatus, and minimizing systematic errors for more precise results.
