The pressure ensures that the tyre can support the weight of the car without flattening out so that the tyre tread touches the wheel rim. Think what happens when a tyre gets a puncture and the internal pressure is lost.

What happens inside a close car on a hot day?

The temperature will rise because the interior cannot re-radiate all of the heat through the glass or car body (as in a greenhouse). Unless the car is being cooled in some way, the interior air can reach potentially dangerous temperature levels (35 to 40°C or higher).


Why can't we feel the atmospheric pressure?

We do not feel the earths atmospheric pressure because it is the same everywhere all round us. The body can only really feel pressure differences. Try this, put your finger in your mouth and suck. Your finger and indeed the inside of you mouth will feel the pressure difference you create. Also sometimes if you go up in a lift or are in a car, bus or plane that goes up or down, you may feel pressure changes in your ears. This is because the pressure in your middle ear takes time to equalize with the atmospheric pressure changes caused as you go up and down in altitude.


Why is car not struck by lightning?

The person themselves won't be; but the car can. However, it won't affect the person inside. Since a car has rubber tires (which do not conduct electricity) it isn't grounded. Therefore, there is no way for the electricity to complete the circuit. You're perfectly safe in a car in a thunderstorm.


Is it more safe to stay in a car or outside during a lightning storm?

It is safer to stay inside a car during a lightning storm as the metal frame of the car will act as a Faraday cage, providing protection from lightning strikes. However, it is best to avoid being outside altogether during a lightning storm to minimize the risk of being struck.


Why aren't we crushed by the atmosphere?

Equal pressure in and outIf the outward pressure inside your body were not equal to the pressure pressing in on you, you would be crushed faster than an empty aluminum beer can at a frat party. Try this experiment at home. It's pretty safe if you're not a maniac or an idiot.Find an old empty gallon can, a squarish one that paint thinner or turpentine comes in. Make sure its empty! Put an ounce or two of water in it. Put the can on the stove and heat it up until the water boils. Do this with the cap off!!! When the water boils, it will produce steam. When you see the steam coming out the top, screw the cap on. Don't burn yourself; use mitts. Let it cook for a few more seconds, not too long, tho. Then, using oven mitts, grab the can by the handle and quickly place it in the sink and run cold water over it. Watch what happens. Keep your hands away from it, tho. You don't want to get pinched.What happened? Well, when you quenched the can in the sink, the steam that had been filling the volume inside the can condensed, creating a vacuum -- an empty space -- inside the can. That created a low pressure in there. In other words, the pressure inside the can was much less then the pressure outside the can, creating a large pressure differential, causing the can to implode.A:well this is simple i may be young and not know alot but the fluids inside your body exert an equal amount of force all around you, thus actimg on the atmosphereic pressure and neutrilizing the effect (some of this may not be correct)A:Consider this, the atmospheric pressure of Jupiter is 90 times that of earth, that would crush a car absolutely flat. the reason why you do not collapse under atmospheric pressure is because our bodies have aclimatized over million of years ever since life started evolving here on earth. Our bodies have an upper and lower threshold of pressure which our bodies can withstand.A:Because your body exerts the same pressure outwards. That's why you need a pressurised suit to go into space - or to deep parts of the ocean. The pressurised suit stops your body exploding (in space) or collapsing (underwater)

What is suction?

An A/C compressor sucks refrigerant gas from the evaporator inside the car and compresses it into high pressure liquid. So the tubing that goes from the evaporator inside the car to the compressor is called the suction line.


Is refrigerant leaving a compressor in a cars air conditioning system high pressure vapor high pressure liquid or low pressure vapor?

Refrigerant leaving a compressor in a car's air conditioning system is a high pressure, high temperature vapor. This vapor carries heat energy away from the evaporator coil inside the car, allowing the refrigerant to absorb heat from the cabin air and cool it down before circulating it back.

If the pressure inside a car tire is equal to atmospheric pressure the tire is flat why?

If inside and outside same pressure that means there is no pressure. The added pressure is what blows the tire up like a balloon and holds the weight of the car up.
