PHY.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Misuse	Repair
Build a smaller geometric copy and apply one scale factor to every result.	Derive how the contributing forces, rates and preparation change; :5.1 and :5.2 produce different factors for different contributions.
Match one familiar number while another relevant effect changes.	Recover the physical terms behind the requested output and solve their conditions together.
Treat all mathematically adjustable properties as independent apparatus settings.	Use the properties of an available material or arrangement, including changes induced by the same control.
Transfer an entire field from a comparison designed for one total.	Retain the output-specific result and reconstruct the comparison for the newly requested field or location.
Drop a small term without following its effect to the output.	Examine the relevant limit, interval and sensitivity; keep a bound or a more detailed account where that term changes the decision.
