What is the difference between projectile motion and free fall motion?

Projectile motion er to put it simply is the motion in which an object travels when launched say you throw a ball it will travel in an arc - imagine a basketball player taking a shot and the path the ball travels or to better see the arc, an Olympic athlete throwing a javelin.

Free fall is basically when the object falls straight down ( in my opinion as well) sort of like a parachutist falling to Earth.

No big difference really.

Free fall is present during projectile motion too. But generally , free fall questions relate with a body falling vertically down, that is at no angle with gravity. While in case of projectile motion , the body travels at some angle with respect to the gravitational force (which is vertical near the surface , it actually directs to the center of the planet).

Hope this helps.

Projectile motion of a body consist of x-component and y-component whereas free fall motion only have y-component.

Projectile motion have range while free fall motion does not.

Over a time line...acceleration.
