Why isn't temperature measured in units of energy? I saw ;-) I do also see what you mean now about the degrees of freedom bit now. I think I misused the word depend there. I'll change it. |

Why isn't temperature measured in units of energy? @Dilaton I don't think energy and temperature are the same thing. This is what I am saying with the derivation. It is a bit of an aside but essentially it should just to show that temperature has a dimension of its own. |

The wavelength of a brainwave @annav physics reaches out to chemistry and biology. I don't see the problem with this question. Elementary physics is being applied here. The OP is curious about something. |

In the Lennard-Jones potential, why does the attractive part (dispersion) have an $r^{-6}$ dependence? Good effort but I noticed you've introduced some notations and not really made a full statement about what they are. Could you fix it? Also why is you arrow like that over both the $\vec{O_1 O_2}$ expressions? |

Electrostatic Potential Energy Calculation (Sign Problem) @jeevan If you try to label variables and state what everything in your expression means firstly people will respond well to that. It's no good to just link a wikipedia page and make obscure references here and there. Wikipedia pages have a lot of information in them. It is unlikely somebody will want to read through all of it just to find the one bit that confuses you when you have not really made it clear on here. |

What is Convective acceleration of flow velocity? How about making an attempt and showing people where you are stuck? It is much easier to help you if you do this. :-) |

The notion of an adiabatic process in thermodynamics -vs- quantum mechanics I see what you did there ;) |

The notion of an adiabatic process in thermodynamics -vs- quantum mechanics This sentence made me quite scared of life for a moment: "Adiabatic means quasi-static and isoentropic" |

What class of theories/physical systems own finite/infinite complex eigenvalues? Why not explain your question a bit? |

How to teach myself physics needed at undergraduate electrical engineer level? @Siva I agree ;-) but +1 because I don't think you should have got a downvote for yours. |

How to teach myself physics needed at undergraduate electrical engineer level? @DarenW rome wasn't built in a day. Siva is right and I hope I made this clear in my own answer. Getting your hands dirty is part of the process. Just as you don't get good at physics without practicing lots of problems, you also need to experiment with building speakers to get a practical sense of how it works. |

How to teach myself physics needed at undergraduate electrical engineer level? @BenCrowell that's his business, is it not? It would help to have some more information about what you have done so far. How much differential equations have you covered, for example? |
