Why do tires seem to go flat when the weather gets cold?
Cold air takes up less space than warm air
How does air take up space?
Air takes up space because it consists of molecules that have mass and volume. When air molecules are compressed or confined, they exert pressure on their surroundings, demonstrating that they occupy a physical space. This property is known as the compressibility of gases.
How do you check air conditioner on 1998 Volkswagen beetle?
air conditorner doesnt blow cold air has freeon compressor doesnt kick on
Does cold air or warm air have more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space?
cold air
What do you do when your air conditioner doesnt blow cold air?
you would need to add freon
Why does a change in the density of the air make the hot air balloon ascend?
Since hotter air is less dense than colder air, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air. Cold air filling a certain space has a certain mass. Since warmer air takes up more space, it takes less warm air to fill the same space, giving it less mass. There is less air there, so it has less of a mass, allowing it to float on top of the other air.
Which air is lighter cold air or hot air?
As with most substances, air expands when heated. When the same mass of a substance takes up more space, it is lighter. This allows hot air to rise above cold air, as we can discover if we lie on the floor and then stand on a chair near the ceiling - the difference is often very noticeable.
Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air inside is hot?
Because that hot air is less dense that cold air. This means that hot air simply takes up more space that cold air, so when this happens, because of buoyancy it creates lift. And depending on the volume of the balloon and weight of the rig it might lift off.
Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space then warm air therefore it has a what pressure?
Cold air has more molecules occupying space than warm air, therefore it has high pressure.
Is air ball is matter?
Yes the air inside a ball is matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass (solid liqud or gas), the air in the ball takes up space.
What can be expect when warm air rises and cold air takes its place?
clouds
Which air occupies more space cold or hot?
The density of air varies with temperature, so for a given pressure and volume cold air will weigh more. With more weight comes more oxygen(and more of everything else too), all other things being equal.
