What would you put in your bicycle tire to inflate it?
air with an air pump
What is a bicycle pump?
A Bicycle Pump is used to pump the tyres on Bikes it is normally a simple hand operated device which pushes air through a tube atached to a nozel which is screwed to the Valve on a Bicycle inatube the air is then forced into the Bicycle 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.
A bicycle tire inflates when you pump air into a valve on one side?
If the pump, valve, and tube are OK - yes.
Describe how molecules in the air behave when you pump air into a bicycle tire?
When air is pumped into a bicycle tire, the molecules in the air are pushed into the tire, increasing the pressure inside. The molecules move more rapidly and collide frequently with the walls of the tire, which causes the pressure to rise. This increased pressure creates a force that keeps the tire inflated and able to support the weight of the bicycle and rider.
Which air is used in bicycle tires?
Usually the pump or compressor just takes air from the surrounding and pushes it into the tube/tire.
Tom plumped air into his bicycle tire until the tire is fullhe is still able to pump some air what does this show?
This shows air can be compressed so more air could be pumped in.
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.
What does tire pressure mean in a bicycle?
how much air is in the tire
Why does a bicycle get heavier when you pump air into it?
Because air, fluffy as it is, is still "stuff", and all stuff has weight. When you pump a tire you're putting more stuff into it, so the weight do go up.
What happens when you pump up a bicycle tire?
Air goes in it the pressure increases and the tire becomes harder. If you keep pumping it'll eventually blow up.
When would the air pressure inside a bicycle tire be lowest?
When you are not sitting on it.
