Write a paragraph or two (no more than 1 page) describing the misconception and then explain the correct physics by identifying the forces or physics concepts involved in simple terms, like you are talking to your 3rd grade sibling.
Start with a question (will water fall out of the bucket when I stop rotating it?)
Give the common answer that is incorrect (what does your intuition tell you should happen?).
Explain what happens and why in simple terms (try practicing on an elementary student to make sure they understand).
Use diagrams and sketches in your explanation and avoid using physics terms like rotational, centripetal, normal forces, tension, friction, acceleration, velocity, vectors, buoyancy, energy, kinetics, potential, heat capacity, etc.

Answer:

1.) Everything that moves, will eventually come to a stop. Rest is the “natural” state of all objects

Of all physics misconceptions, this is the most common. Even the great philosopher Aristotle, included it into his most important contribution to the field, his famous Laws of Motion. But now we know it is wrong because Newton’s First Law of Motion tells us that “everything at rest will stay at rest, and everything in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.”

The first statement seems reasonable enough, but the second part is a little bit murky. The reason this confusion persists boils down to the fact that we are unable to identify the force that stops all motion, which is friction. Friction is a force that acts between two objects that are in contact and are moving relative to each other. When we roll a ball, it stops because of the frictional force acting between it and the floor.

2.) A continuous force is needed for continuous motion

This misconception is a direct consequence of the first one. While this is true, if you are, for example, pushing a grocery cart in a supermarket, again this is only because there is friction involved. The force you apply to keep an object moving is only to counteract the frictional force. If you were to throw a rock on outer space, it would travel with a constant velocity forever, unless it hits something, of course. This is because space is mostly empty (it has trace elements of gas and dust throughout), and there would not be any frictional force acting on that rock.

3.) An object is hard to push because it is heavy

This is one of the most common misconceptions because it’s something we see and feel everyday. While a heavy object is really hard to push, it is not because of its weight, but because of its inertia or mass. Inertia is an objects resistance to change in motion. It is important to note that inertia is resistance to “change motion” rather than just motion itself. When, I was a kid, I imagined that it would be easy to carry and push massive objects when in outer space, but not surprisingly, my younger self was wrong.,

With that said… Since these objects still have mass despite being weightless, this mass represents the object’s inertia.

4.) Planets revolve around the sun because they are pushed by gravity

We have to remember that gravity — the weakest of the four fundamental forces — is an attractive force. The reason why planets revolve around the Sun can be chalked up to the fact that the planets were already spinning within the protoplanetary disk encircling a young Sun. Gravity merely keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun, but it isn’t necessarily the one thing pushing the planets along their orbital plane.

5.)  Heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones

This misconception is already debunked long ago by Galileo on his experiment when he dropped two objects with different masses on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He has shown on that experiment that objects move downward with the same acceleration.

Again, the problem comes from not being able to identify another force that is involved, which is air resistance. All objects moving through air, and hence, all falling objects, experience air resistance. This force is proportional to the area of the object in the direction of motion. Usually, this force is negligible, but for light objects — with weight comparable to the air resistance, like a feather — it will have a big effect. This is ultimately confirmed by the famous hammer and feather drop experiment on the moon.

6.) There is no gravity in outer space

There is gravity in outer space, it is just weaker than what we experience here on Earth. Astronauts that are orbiting the Earth don’t experience gravity because they are free-falling (yes, you read that right). All satellites, including the moon and the planets, are in a constant state of freefall.

They just also have a tangential velocity with their free fall, that is why they don’t crash to what they are orbiting. When something is in free fall, it becomes weightless. This is why Kate Upton can do a photo shoot in zero gravity here on Earth. The plane that they are riding in actually went into free fall to do that.

7.) Planets move in circular orbits around the Sun

Planets actually move in elliptical orbits around the sun (with the Sun being the focus of the ellipse). This is actually the first of Kepler’s Three Laws of Planetary Motion, which deals with precisely how planets orbit the Sun.

One misconception deals with our seasons. Some might wrongly come to the conclusion that Earth’s proximity to the Sun dictates the seasons (summer is when Earth is closest to the Sun and winter is when it’s farther away), but that’s not entirely true. In reality, our seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis.

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts = 400 K. When placed in atmospheric air at a temperature of T[infinity] = 300 K and moving with a velocity of V = 25 m/s, the average heat flux from the surface to the air is 10,000 W/m2 . If a second object of the same shape, but with a characteristic length of L = 2.5 m, is maintained at a surface temperature of Ts = 400 K and is placed in atmospheric air at T[infinity] = 300 K, what will the value of the average convection coefficient be if the air velocity is V = 5 m/s?.

5.16 An insulated container, filled with 10 kg of liquid water at 20 C, is fitted with a stirrer. The stirrer is made to turn by lowering a 25-kg object outside the container a distance of 10 m using a frictionless pulley system. The local acceleration of gravity is 9.7 m/s2.
