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 does air leave the tire when the tire valve is opened?
Air leaves a tire when the tire valve is open due to the pressure. The pressure outside of the tire is lower than the pressure inside the tire.
How does air pressure act on car tier?
air pressure helps on the inside of a tire but on the outside it does not usually help. as an observation if you get a flat tire and put air inside the tire it gives pressure on the inside were the hole is but if it is on the outside and lets say a pipe rolls down the highway and it hits your tire air pressure helps it make a hole in it or make it flat.
Is air pressure inside a tire vector or scalar?
Scalar
When would the air pressure inside a bicycle tire be lowest?
When you are not sitting on it.
How do the particles inside a car tire cause pressure on the tire?
Tyre pressure is caused by the air particles inside the tyre
Why does a tire feel harder on a hot day?
The air inside the tire heats up, building the pressure. The pressure is exerted on the walls of the tire, making it feel harder.
What happens to the air pressure inside a tire when it is warmed?
The warming air would expand and the tyre pressure would go up.
Why does a tire expand as you pump air into it?
because you're putting pressure inside the tire of the required psi recommended
What is the correct air pressure for 19 inch tire?
There is no one pressure indicated on any 19 inch tire (tyre). Every tire manufacturer has different air pressure specifications individual to each tire.On every tire the Maximum load weight per tire and the maximum air pressure per tire is embossed in raised lettering on the sidewall of the tire itself.If you cannot locate it there, check the on manufacturers website for recommended air pressure, or check the inside door jamb of the vehicle the tires are mounted on for correct air pressure specifications.
Why an over inflated tire bursts at high speeds?
At high speed, there is a lot of flexing of the rubber, which causes heat, which heats the air inside the tire, which increases the air pressure. If the pressure was too high to begin with, the increased air pressure can be high enough to cause the tire to burst.
A truck's tires have the correct air pressure at room temperature about 20c explain why a tire is more likey to explode when the truck is driven in hot weather than in cold weather?
As a tire goes round and round heat builds up inside the heat expands the air inside the tire. On a normal day that he can dissipate but as the temperature on the outside increases is more difficult for the heat (energy) to leave the inside of the tire. As the temperature increases the pressure inside the tire also increases. It is that pressure that can cause the tire to explode.
