Question

Zeke is on spring break. He lives in a cold climate, so he decides to drive to a warmer climate. Before he leaves for his vacation, he checks the air pressure in his tires. After a few days of driving, he reaches his destination and stops for more fuel. While fueling up, he checks his tires' air pressure again and notices it has increased. Which option best explains the change in the air pressure of Zeke's tires? Select all that apply.
The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the volume of air in his tires to increase.
The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the pressure in his tires to spread out equally.
The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the pressure in his tires to increase.
The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the volume of air in his tires to decrease.

Answer 1

The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the volume of air in his tires to increase.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: The air pressure and the temperature is directly proportional to each other. This means that, higher the temperature, higher is the air pressure, and lesser the temperature, lesser is the air pressure.

According to the given condition, when Zeke travels from a colder climate to a comparatively warmer climate, the air molecules gets get heated up, and become active, as a result of which, the air pressure in the tyre increases by a certain amount.

Thus the correct answer is option (1).
