Placeholder - What happens if we solve only for the UNITS when balancing an equation? Is vacuum a relative term? Is absolute zero a relative term? If a so-called vacuum is charged with 1,000,000 volts, will it behave the same as one charged at zero volts? Is zero volts a relative term? What’s even less dense than plasma? What’s even more dense than solid?
pV = nRT
Physics in High School was fun! Duder didn’t like my messy notebook. TA guy was bomb diggity though. Collegiate physics one is easy if you observe the ‘real world’ with honesty, physics two walks the slippery slope. Such as it is, YOU, the reader, are the authority. Read that again, kindly. We don’t know exponentially more than we think we know.
Any case 1) when you solve a problem using only units (kg, mm, meters^3) it doesn’t matter about the numbers so much. Math doesn’t lie, and units play nice with algebra. This approach in this context is about reducing to the most fundamental unit 2) Squares, Cubes, ^4, ^1/2 etc. are at first difficult to comprehend in terms of units, and then become integral to our understanding in this context 3) Which units are in fact relative? Is Calculus necessary in this case? Perish the thought…
As you explore the many hallways of this site, ask yourself, did I leave that Segway there on purpose for the inquiring mind to wander?
Complex plot of a wave function that satisfies the nonrelativistic free Schrödinger equation with V = 0. For more details see wave packet
Segways:
What dimension is a rotating system or systems of particles?
Boltzmann constant – Physical constant relating particle kinetic energy with temperature
Configuration integral – Function in thermodynamics and statistical physics
Dynamic pressure – Kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid
Internal energy – Energy contained within a system
Van der Waals equation – Gas equation of state which accounts for non-ideal gas behavior
