Good morning everyone! I am a Medical Doctor and have a very basic understanding of physics (Studied till high school). I was very much interested in freefall experiments and wanted to do something by myself. I was interested to see if I can demonstrate the lack of gravitational pull during freefall and to test it, I used the accelerometer in my phone and an app to record the data. I have compiled it all in the attached excel file and was very curious about a couple of things that I noticed in the data.
Note that this could very well be due to flaws of the experiment and may very well not reflect in a very closed system.
Thank you for your time.

- The graph derived from the freefall tests showed a notch in the accelerometer reading after it was dropped. Has there been any such aberrations in experiments done in closed systems??
- Once the object is in freefall, the accelerometer showed progressive rise in acceleration along the Z axis, before it hits the ground.
Thank you for your time.
