The pressure increases, and the temperature goes up a little.
Depending on the contents of the ambient air at the moment of pumping, the composition of the air inside may change a little bit.

∙ 12y agosince temperature and pressure are directly proportional....the molecules will move around faster because as pressure goes up so does temperature which means that because kinetic energy is the energy of motion and tmeperature is a measure of average kinetic energy, the molecules will be in faster motion

∙ 16y agoWhen you pump air into a tire, it compresses the air, which squeezes the molecules in the air closer together.

What would you put in your bicycle tire to inflate it?
air with an air pump
What is a bicycle pump?
A Bicycle Pump is used to pump the tyres on Bikes it is normally a simple hand operated device which pushes air through a tube atached to a nozel which is screwed to the Valve on a Bicycle inatube the air is then forced into the Bicycle Tire.
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
A bicycle tire inflates when you pump air into a valve on one side?
If the pump, valve, and tube are OK - yes.
Which air is used in bicycle tires?
Usually the pump or compressor just takes air from the surrounding and pushes it into the tube/tire.
Tom plumped air into his bicycle tire until the tire is fullhe is still able to pump some air what does this show?
This shows air can be compressed so more air could be pumped in.
What does tire pressure mean in a bicycle?
how much air is in the tire
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.
Why does a bicycle get heavier when you pump air into it?
Because air, fluffy as it is, is still "stuff", and all stuff has weight. When you pump a tire you're putting more stuff into it, so the weight do go up.
When would the air pressure inside a bicycle tire be lowest?
When you are not sitting on it.
Who is the inventor of the Air filled bicycle tire?
Air fille bicycle tires were invented by John Dunlop.
