12.
A truck’s tires have the correct air pressure at room temperature (about 20°C). Explain why a tire is more likely to explode when the truck is driven in hot weather than in cold weather.
a)
Volume isn't really changed; pressure increases in heat; can cause tire to explode; cold causes tire to deflate
b)
pressure decreases in heat, but increases in cold, causing tire to burst
c)
tire will explode in heat due to the rising volume in the tire, which melts some and then explodes
d)
volume increases a lot in the cold, causing the pressure to increase. In the heat pressure decreases so much that it causes the tire to deflate, and the metal in the car pops the tire.
13.
What law explains why hot air balloons rise?
a)
Boyle's Law
b)
Lussac's Law
c)
Charles's Law
d)
Martial Law
14.
What is one of the explanations for hot air balloons to rise?
a)
Air inside balloon becomes less dense than the air outside.
b)
Air inside balloon becomes more dense than air outside.
c)
As temp. increases so does pressure at constant volume.
d)
Warm inside balloon escapes to keep volume constant.
15.
Which is NOT an explanation for hot air balloons rising?
a)
Heating air causes air inside balloon to expand.
b)
Some warm air escapes through balloon mouth to keep pressure constant.
c)
Air inside balloon is less dense than air outside balloon.
d)
As pressure increases at constant volume, so does temperature.
