Thermal Energy
• Thermal energy inhibits star formation. Pressure= bolsheivks contant X temperature X density. • When contracts, stars will either heat up or cool down. • When you push down on a bicycle pump, you’re adding the energy of the piston to the energy of the atoms that are in the cylinder. At first atoms bounce off, and then atoms hit other atoms, which transfers some of the energy from the piston to the other atoms.
