After a car is driven along a road for some distance, why does the air pressure in the tires increase? @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

what's ur xplanation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my explanation is:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tire pressure increases because tires heat up creating heat inside the tire when driven on for a distance therefore, creating the tire to expand, even regardless of the size of the load that the tires are carrying. so tires swell when heated up because the pressure inside the tires get warm

OpenStudy (abhisar):

If m not wrong u r a boy ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Oh..excuse me for that !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why did you think that?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No no just a random gues !! not much familiar with the western nomenclature :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

so becca is ur name ryt ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

and marx is supposed to be the surname ryt ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becca is my nick name, marx is my maiden (before marriage) name

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

btw i jus wanted to say that u r on fire gal !!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

however i would like to rectify the explanation a lill bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

After a car is driven along a road for some distance, the tires get heated due to frictional force. This in turn heats the air inside it. Heated air now expands and exerts more pressure on the tires

OpenStudy (abhisar):

This increases the air pressure in tires !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

got it ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it
