Before starting out on a long drive...

Before starting out on a long drive , you check the air in you car's tires to make sure they are properly inflated . The pressure gauge reads 209 k Pa, and temperature is `37^@ C.` after a few hours of highway driving you stop and check the pressure again . Now the gauge reads 239 kPa. what is the temperature of the air in the tires now ? Assume that the volume of the tire remains constant .

To solve the problem, we will use the ideal gas law, which states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant volume, the ratio of pressure to temperature remains constant. The formula we will use is: \[ \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \] Where: - \(P_1\) = initial pressure ...

Starting out on a trip into the mountains, you inflate the tires on your automobile to a recommended pressure of 3.21xx10^(5) Pa on a day when the temperature is - 5.0^(@)C . You drive to the beach, where the temperature is 28.0^(@)C . Assume that the volume of the tire has increased by 3%. What is the final pressure in the tyres?
