Sample Formal Laboratory Report for Physics on the Picket Fence Lab
... was done with 0.15% error and 0.56% precision. Since both the error and precision are small, it shows that the experimental was fairly consistent and the average value is very close to the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity. Since the picket fence fell through a short distance close to se ...

... and a gravitational system will tend to a state in which −Ω = 2T . If fact, gravitational systems tend to do this very rapidly, a bound system that is not in virial equilibrium will change its configuration very rapidly to get into virial equilibrium. Therefore we expect bound systems to be close to ...
