The pressure increases, and the molecules collide with the tire's inner surface.

∙ 12y agoAs the Basketball is being pumped up, the pressure inside increases because after a certain point, the ball isn't going to change size - but more air is being added. The molecules of course get more crowded (hence the higher pressure). Since work is being done to compress the air already inside the ball and move it out of the way as more air is added, the air in the ball also warms up.

What creates heat inside the earth?
pressure from the mantel.
A truck's tires have the correct air pressure at room temperature about 20c explain why a tire is more likey to explode when the truck is driven in hot weather than in cold weather?
As a tire goes round and round heat builds up inside the heat expands the air inside the tire. On a normal day that he can dissipate but as the temperature on the outside increases is more difficult for the heat (energy) to leave the inside of the tire. As the temperature increases the pressure inside the tire also increases. It is that pressure that can cause the tire to explode.
How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of a bicycle?
Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)
What is the differences in fluid pressure create buoyant force on an object?
its because the water puts fluid pressure everywhere on the object which creates a bouyant force.
What hazards are associated with heating a liquid in a test tube that is tightly closed with a cork?
creates pressure
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.
Which have more pressure inside bicycle tire or tractor tire tube?
Depends on the type of bike. A skinny tire road bicycle will have several times higher pressure than a tractor tire, while a wide tire Mountainbike can have anything between the double to 1/3 of the pressure of a tra tire.
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.
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 a bicycle tire?
A bicycle tire is a tire which fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.
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.
Is the tire pressure same in bicycles and cars Why?
Depends on the type of bike. A skinny tire road bicycle will have several times higher pressure than a car tire, while a wide tire Mountainbike can have anything between the double to 1/3 of the pressure of a car tire.
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.
Is Pressure inside a bicycle tire higher than the pressure outside?
If the tyre is inflated, yes. If it has been completely deflated, no.
When you pump air into the tire of a bicycle what is the state of air in the tire?
Because I don't know what your teacher is looking for:At a pressure above atmosphericCompressedConfined
