What improvement did John Dunlop bring to the Bicycle in 1888?
The air filled(pneumatic) tire.
What is the main disadvantage of using an ordinary bicycle tire?
Well, they're air-filled and under pressure, and as such prone to leaks and punctures.
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
When would the air pressure inside a bicycle tire be lowest?
When you are not sitting on it.
Describe how molecules in the air behave when you pump air into a bicycle tire?
When air is pumped into a bicycle tire, the molecules in the air are pushed into the tire, increasing the pressure inside. The molecules move more rapidly and collide frequently with the walls of the tire, which causes the pressure to rise. This increased pressure creates a force that keeps the tire inflated and able to support the weight of the bicycle and rider.
What would you put in your bicycle tire to inflate it?
air with an air pump
What is filled in the tire of aeroplane?
air
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.
What is the name of the air filled tire?
pneumatic
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.
