Well, you need a pump, or a compressor with the right type of nozzle for the type of valve you're using. Then, if you have a Presta valve, you need to know how to open it. Once you have that it's no problem inflating a bicycle tire.

When would the air pressure inside a bicycle tire be lowest?
When you are not sitting on it.
Why does air come out of a bicycle tire when you open the valve even if the valve is pointing up?
Because the air inside the tire is under pressure. Gas always flows from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. As the pressure inside the tire is greater than the pressure outside, the air always comes out of the bicycle tyre.
Why is it when you put air into a completely flat bicycle tire the entire tire expands?
because air molecules build up inside the tire and push the rubber outwards which causes the tire to expand.
Is there a limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire?
Yes there most certainty is a limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire. Put too much air in the tire and it will explode. The maximum air pressure for the tire is listed on the sidewall of the tire.
What does tire pressure mean in a bicycle?
how much air is in the tire
Who is the inventor of the Air filled bicycle tire?
Air fille bicycle tires were invented by John Dunlop.
What would you put in your bicycle tire to inflate it?
air with an air pump
What does a bicycle tire gauge measure?
ANY tire gauge measures air pressure in PSI.
How many PSI of air is in a 29-inch bicycle tire?
The inflation pressure is on the sidewall of the tire.
Why do the air molecules inside a bicycle tire speed up as the temperature gets warmer?
because the heat is transferred to the molecules and gives them more kinetic energy
What causes the air pressure in a bicycle tire?
Air is put in with a pump or a compressor, either way it becomes pressurised to inflate the tire.
When you pump air into the tire of a bicycle what is the state of air in the tire?
Because I don't know what your teacher is looking for:At a pressure above atmosphericCompressedConfined
