What else can I help you with?
Is bike a solid?
a bicycle tire is a solid, because it is made out of rubber and rubber is solid. so, therefore, a bicycle tire is a soid.
What makes a tire a snow tire?
The tread is designed to pull through the snow and the rubber is softer so that it can conform to the surface of the road.
Why is it that The lower the tire pressure the greater the contact area between the tire and the pavement?
the lower pressure fails to keep the tire's shape so the rubber of the wheel is pulled downward by gravity.
Which one would compress more a solid rubber bicycle or a inflated mountain bike tire?
A "solid rubber bicycle" wouldn't be particularly useful, so I assume that you actually mean a comparison between a solid and an inflated bicycle tire. Answer: It depends. An inflated tire of a very high pressure will compress less than a solid tyre made out of soft rubber. OTOH a hard rubber solid tyre will compress less than a low-pressure inflatable tyre.
What is the difference between snow tires and street tires?
The tread pattern is different so the tire can dig downor bite into i the snow also the rubber is softer so the tire doesn't get brittle in the cold temputures.
How does rubber moorings in a building help minimize damage during an earthquake?
Because rubber is flexible - so it absorbs a lot of the motion of the earth during a quake. Rubber moorings act as a kind of barrier between the building and the earth.
Where to buy 5 foot diameter rubber inner tube?
only tire i know that size is a truck or a tractor tube,so any truck and tractor tire place will sell you one
When were rubber tires invented?
John Boyd Dunlop was a Scottish veterinarian and the recognized inventor of the first practical pneumatic or inflatable tyre/tire. His patent was for a bicycle tire, granted in 1888. However, Robert William Thomson invented the actual first vulcanised rubber pneumatic tire. Thomson patented his pneumatic tire in 1845, his invention worked well but was to costly to catch on. Dunlop's tire patented in 1888 did, and so he received the most recognition.
Are car tires made out of rubber?
short answer? yes. long answer? kinda. the modern tire has many other materials in it and that is why they are so expensive.
What is the function of a rubber connector?
Rubber connectors that are impregnated with carbon or metal are good. They they are flexible and low profile. So this means that they can be used in very tight places. For instance, that is how the circuit board of a digital watch connects to the display.
Reinventing the Wheel: Tires?
Tires come in many shapes and sizes, and are used on most any motor vehicle. However, they all serve the same purpose, and they’re all absolutely necessary. The tire is the donut shaped outer covering that protects a car or truck’s rim. They provide a flexible cushioning that absorbs impact and keeps the wheel in contact with the road’s surface. Tires are made primarily from rubber, fabric, and various chemical compounds. The surface of the tire that meets the road is called the tire tread, and the inside part of the tire ring is the body. The tread provides traction and holds the vehicle to the road, while the body of the tire provides support. The earliest tires used were merely strips of iron or steel, which were harnessed to wooden wheels on farm wagons. The iron tire was softened by heat and attached to the wheel. This was done by a craftsman called the wheelwright. Later, rubber pneumatic tires were introduced. John Boyd Dunlop invented the modern tire while trying to improve his son’s bicycle. His son experienced awful headaches from riding his bicycle over rough terrain, and Dunlop fitted the bike with rubber tires to absorb the shock and make riding smoother. Pneumatic tires are made of donut-shaped cords and wires held in rubber. The tire is filled with compressed air so that it can absorb impacts. The modern pneumatic tire is made of a flexible elastomer material, like rubber, and is generally reinforced with fabric and wire. Early tire manufacturers of the 20th century grew with the introduction of the model T by Ford. Today, nearly 2 billion tires are produced every year. The tread of the tire is the section that comes into contact with the ground. It consists of thick rubber and is designed to provide a great deal of durable traction. Normally tire tread has a pattern of geometrical grooves and shapes that run circumferentially around the tire tread. These work to channel away water, and hold the road. Tread wear is the wearing aware of a tire’s tread from use. Normal tread wear is caused by friction between the tire and the road.
What happend to the rubber slippers when bent?
It is flexible because its made out of rubber so it will just bend back to its regular state
