Question

Ming drives across Arizona in the middle of July. She drives for two hours in the hot, desert sun before stopping for some snacks. Which statement describes the condition of the tires on Ming’s car when she stops?

a.The temperature and pressure of the air inside the tires have decreased.
b.The temperature and pressure of the air inside the tires have increased.
c.The temperature of the air inside the tires has increased, but the pressure has decreased.
d.The temperature of the air inside the tires has decreased, but the temperature has increased.

Answer 1

Option B is correct – the temperature and pressure of air inside the tyres have increased.

In the hot desert sun, Ming’s car tyres, which were in motion, would have got heated up. This would increase the temperature of air inside the tyre, causing it to expand. The expanding air, results in increase in pressure inside the tyre.

Maintaining correct tyre air pressure is critical, especially in summer. Incorrect air pressure in tyres, can result in reduced mileage of cars or tyre blow-out, which can be dangerous.
