Question

Jennifer checked the pressure in her bike tires before school and they had a pressure of 0.890 atm. She checked the tire pressure again after school and they had a pressure of 1.01 atm. Why was there an increase in pressure? Check all that apply.
The temperature increased outside.

The temperature decreased outside.

The air molecules in the tire moved around more rapidly later in the day and collided with the tire
walls with more force.

There was a hole in the tire.

Answer 1

Answer:

the temperature increased outside

Answer 2

The reasons why there was an increase in pressure after school in Jennifer's bike's tires were:

• The temperature increased outside.
• The air molecules in the tire moved around more rapidly later in the day and collided with the tire walls with more force.

Why was there an increase in pressure?

As a result of the temperature increasing outside the tires on account of there being more heat during the day time, the air molecules in the tire became heated up and gained more kinetic energy.

This allowed them to move more rapidly and collide with the walls of the tire which much more force so that when Jennifer checked the pressure again, it had increased.

In conclusion, options A and C are correct.
