What is the misconception about fuel consumption?
One common misconception about fuel consumption is that idling uses less fuel than restarting the engine. In reality, idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting the engine. Another misconception is that driving at higher speeds is more fuel efficient. However, driving at higher speeds increases air resistance and requires more fuel to maintain speed, leading to higher fuel consumption. Additionally, some people believe that a larger vehicle always consumes more fuel than a smaller vehicle, but this is not always the case as fuel efficiency depends on various factors such as engine size, weight, and aerodynamics.

What is the misconception about the most poisonous spider?
The most common misconception about the most poisonous spider, the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria), is that it is aggressive and actively seeks out humans to attack. In reality, these spiders are shy and prefer to avoid confrontation with humans. They will only bite in self-defense if they feel threatened. Additionally, while their venom is highly toxic, they inject only a small amount when they bite, and fatalities from their bites are extremely rare.

What are the reasons for the misconception of free fall?
The misconception of free fall often arises due to the common belief that objects fall at a constant speed. In reality, objects in free fall accelerate due to gravity at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This misconception may also be fueled by the lack of understanding of the difference between weight and mass, leading to confusion about how gravity affects objects. Additionally, the absence of air resistance in idealized free fall scenarios can contribute to the misunderstanding of the true nature of falling objects.
