Re: [Phys-l] Student Misconceptions



Aaa, perhaps Alphonsus' misreading of my request is a clue as to why I've not received a response.

My request was (is) what happens to the amplitude of a pendulum clock when the bob's mass is increased (without changing the CoM).

Not more misconceptions.

bc frustrated.

How about Ph.D.s' misconceptions. I had one. I queried the list
and received NO response, so I'll try again.

There are possibly many physics Ph.D.s' misconceptions...

Speed of light: It is constant and invariant?
Speed of light is the ultimate speed limit?
Mass of an object is constant and invariant?
Inflationary universe?
Newton’s second law is really Newton’s?
The correct interpretation of quantum mechanics?
The correct meaning of E=mc2?


Best regards,
Alphonsus
