Question

Explain in terms of kinetic energy theory why tires should not be over inflated

Answer 1

A tyre should not be over inflated because the air which is being pumped in it will result into a high pressure with the tyre and the tyre may burst or tear. A tyre should not be over-inflated according to the kinetic theory because the collision of the gas molecules are perfectly elastic.
