All Students: Understanding Cause and Effect

Think about the physics of phenomena, don't blindly quote equations. You don't make someone run faster by reducing the time your stop watch shows for a race. It is quite the other way round.

I got a bunch of labs in that indicated that cause and effect are being inverted. Please reason correctly. For example, you make the acceleration greater by increasing the force on the object not the other way round. You make a wave go faster by increasing tension in rope, you don't increase the tension by making the wave go faster.
