List of Common Misconceptions

  1. People sometimes think forces pairs cancel resulting in no motion.
  2. People sometimes forget the Newton's third law also applies to gravity.
  3. People often mistake the coefficient of friction μ for the frictional force.
  4. Tension ($T$) does not equal the weight of the falling object (typically $W_2$) in a pully system, the rope redirects the weight.
