In short, yes the air does rotate. You're wondering if one molecule of air at the top of the inside of the tire will stay stationary when the tire is moving, basically. Because of the high PSI in a tire, the air molecules are packed together and do not have anywhere to go. When the tire spins, the air doesn't have anywhere else to go, so it starts spinning with the tire.

Why the pressure of the air inside a car tire increases when the car is driven at high speed?

When you drive the the tires create friction with the road when they rotate. Friction creates heat. The air molecules in the tire heat up and expand. Since the tire is rubber and sealed the tire expands with the pressure of the hot air.


The air pressure inside a tire?

scalar


Why does air leave the tire when the tire valve is opened?

Air leaves a tire when the tire valve is open due to the pressure. The pressure outside of the tire is lower than the pressure inside the tire.


How does air pressure act on car tier?

air pressure helps on the inside of a tire but on the outside it does not usually help. as an observation if you get a flat tire and put air inside the tire it gives pressure on the inside were the hole is but if it is on the outside and lets say a pipe rolls down the highway and it hits your tire air pressure helps it make a hole in it or make it flat.


Is the air inside of a tire a liquid or gas?

gas


Is air pressure inside a tire vector or scalar?

Air pressure inside a tire is a scalar quantity because it only has a magnitude (a numerical value) and no direction.


What is heavier inflated tire or flat tire?

An inflated tire is generally heavier than a flat tire due to the air pressure inside it. The air adds weight, so when a tire is fully inflated, it contains more mass compared to when it is flat. However, the difference in weight is relatively small, as the air inside the tire is not very dense.


Why does air come out of a bicycle tire when you open the valve even if the valve is pointing up?

Because the air inside the tire is under pressure. Gas always flows from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. As the pressure inside the tire is greater than the pressure outside, the air always comes out of the bicycle tyre.


How does an air pump remove air from a tire?

An air pump removes air from a tire by creating a vacuum inside the pump chamber, which causes air to be drawn in from the tire through a one-way valve. This process continues until the desired pressure is reached in the tire.


Why does air escape form a tire a tire when the tire valve is opened?

Air escapes from a tire when the valve is opened because the valve creates a pathway for the pressurized air inside the tire to flow out into the lower-pressure environment outside. When the valve is opened, the pressure differential causes the high-pressure air inside the tire to rush out, resulting in a rapid decrease in tire pressure. This process continues until the pressure equalizes or the valve is closed.


How do the particles inside a car tire cause pressure on the tire?

When a car tire is inflated, the air particles inside the tire collide with the walls of the tire and with each other, creating a force that exerts pressure on the walls of the tire. The pressure builds up as more air is pumped into the tire until it reaches a point where it is equal to the atmospheric pressure pushing back on the tire.


If you stop a tire quickly - dead stop - would the air inside the tire continue to go round from inertia?

The air inside the tire would continue to move the same as the water in a glass will still move after you stop stirring it.
