could you describe your prac?
sources of errors could include inaccurate timing, not enough decimal places in calculations, parallax error, inconsistent method, the list goes on.....
the conclusion is where you've analysed your results, and you write how these results correlate to prove something. Or the conclusion could even be that you could not detect a relationship.
But tell us some details about your prac and youll be able to get some specific answers from people

In any projectile motion prac there will be aerodynamic drag on the object (however small). Under the assumption your experiment starts as a ball rolling down a slope and off a desk, friction will also play a notable role in inducing systematic error.
In any prac you can always say in your discussion that your results would be more accurate if the investigation was repeated numerous times to achieve more realistic results. In your conclusion make sure you refer to your aim and answer the aim if it is in the form of a question.
