The tire will most likely heat up in the summer due to the road being warm. As air heats up it expands and as air cools it condences.

It all depends on the road conditions. So if its warmer outside or the pavement is warm the tire pressure will rise if it's cooler out it wont expand as much but it will warm up due to friction between the road and the tire.

Assuming volume remains constant (which is very likely since the tyre is inflated), the pressure of the air in the tyre increases.

This is because when temperature increases, the gas molecules inside the tyre collide more vigorously and more frequently with the walls of the tyre, hence increasing pressure. (Refer to pressure law)

Since all gases expand when the temperature increases, the tyre pressure will increase. The gravel won't have much to do with it, other than change the physical position of the air molecules as the weight of the car will flatten the tyre to a slight bulge at the bottom of the tyre. The temperature shouldn't increase too much as to an overpressure, but just to be sure, you should try fill a tyre on a hot day (mid 30's - 40's).

As the temperature increases, the gas will expand. Conversely, it will contract as it cools. Hence, the appearance of a tire to have 'gotten flatter' after the vehicle has been parked for a long period (say, overnight) on a cold winter's day

As temperature increases the particles spread out more so therefore the pressure increases.

How does the oxygen being burned in a bottle create vacuum that sucks an egg in?

because there is is a pressure difference between the inside of the bottle and the outside. the pressure is lower in the bottle the egg gets sucked in. when the oxygen is burned there is less matter in the bottle then at first and that results in less pressure[vacuum]


Why would a sealed container of air be crushed after being frozen?

A sealed container of air would be crushed after being frozen because as the pressure decreases, the temperature also decreases. The air molecules inside of the sealed container shrink when it is frozen. The colder the air, the lower the temperature.


What causes a can with boiling water in it implode when put into a bucket with cold water in it?

The pressure of the steam leaving the can. the molecules inside the can are moving real fast due to heat being added , the molecules are innstantly slowed down causing the implosion


Why boiling point decrease with decrease with pressure?

in short, Atoms must vibrate to break their bonds I.E. from solid state, to liquid state to gas state. with a HIGH pressure the atoms must vibrate faster to become hotter to over come the pressure surrounding it. as pressure decreases, less energy is needed to break the bonds and over come the surrounding pressure, and with that a LOWER amount of energy is needed in LOWER pressure. HOPE THIS HELPS ;-)

Wherever the balloon is what can you say about the pressure of the air inside and outside the balloon?

Usually, the air pressure inside a balloon is very high because the plastic outer shell of a balloon wants to contract and press the air into a small space. High in the atmosphere, air pressure is much lower than on the ground. When the air pressure outside a balloon is bigger than the air pressure inside, the balloon switches from wanting to push in on the air to the air pushing on the balloon. as this happens to some parts of a balloon and not others, it is uneven and the balloon pops.Answer:There are two distinct cases:For child's rubber balloon the air inside is at higher pressure because it is being squeezed by the rubber that wants to return to its original size. Just like you have to apply pressure to a rubber band to keep it stretched.In the case of hot air balloons the pressure on the inside of the balloon is the same as the atmospheric pressure. The balloon in this case is like an upside down bucket of air that would like to rise. It fills the container but shares the pressure of its surroundings.

Yes. A tornado is pretty much made of air. Although pressure inside a tornado is low it is nowhere near being a complete vacuum.


Is the pressure inside a football is caused by the air particles inside the ball crashing into the wall of a football?

The pressure inside a football is caused by the air particles inside the ball being compressed by the addition of increasing amounts of air. The standard PSI of a professional football is 13 psi (Pounds per square inch).
