an inflated car is considered to have a constant volume regardless of any changes in temperature or pressure. use the kinetic thoery of gases to answer the following questions.
(a) how does the air in the tyre exert a pressure on the walls of the tyre ?
(b) why is the pressure the same at all points on the inside the walls of the tyre?
(c) what happens to the pressure on the inside walls of the tyre if the temperature of the air increases? explain your answer

(b) why is the pressure the same at all points on the inside the walls of the tyre? 
(c) what happens to the pressure on the inside walls of the tyre if the temperature of the air increases? explain your answer

rane · Answer

(a) Kinetic Theory tells us that pressure is the collision of gas molecules. If more air is added to a tire, there are more gas molecules, thus more collisions. The increase in collisions causes the increase in pressure. (b) http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/pressure.html © the pressure increases as the temperature is increased. this is because the particles have now gained more energy and now r colliding with the walls of the tyre more faster hence increasing the pressure
