because you're putting pressure inside the tire of the required psi recommended

Why does the bottom of a tire pump feel hot when you pump air in the tire but when air is released the valve stem feels cool?
Because when you compress a gas like airit gets warm - which is what happens to the pump. And when a gas like air is allowed to expand, which is what happens when you let it out of the tire, it cools off - which is what happens to the valve.
What gas is in a tire pump?
There is no gas in a tire pump, only air.
What use is an air pump?
u pump air into an object such as a tire, or a ball.
What would you put in your bicycle tire to inflate it?
air with an air pump
Can you use a tire pump to air brush?
Probably not. It's unlikely that a tire pump (particularly if it's a manual one) would give enough air flow for air brushing.
Why is it when you put air into a completely flat bicycle tire the entire tire expands?
because air molecules build up inside the tire and push the rubber outwards which causes the tire to expand.
When you inflate a tire where does the air come from?
The air comes from the atmosphere. It is compressed by the pump and forced, through a valve into the tire.
Do car tires expand in the summer?
Yes, the heat causes the air to expand in the tires. Conversely, the cold air in winter reduces tire pressure.
What causes the air pressure in a bicycle tire?
Air is put in with a pump or a compressor, either way it becomes pressurised to inflate the tire.
Why does a tire get bigger as you pump it up?
Because, the air pressure hitting the tire, and as it hitting we put some air pressure into it so the tire is fully pumped up.
Additional air can be pump into the tire filled with air because?
The original air in the tire is old and weak so new air pumped in is stronger because it's newer and faster ;) Just kidding, really though the pressure of the air in the tire compared to the pressure of the air applied to the valve stem is the determining factor to whether or not you will be pumping air in the tire or letting it out of the tire. 10psi in the tire and 20psi at the air chuck equals a 10psi difference, and if the air chuck is applied to the valve stem the tire will fill with 10psi more of air and will then equal 20psi in the tire if the 20psi air pressure can be maintained at the fill chuck by an air compressor. Why, because different pressures will want to equal themselves to each other if they are aloud to occupy the same area with the higher pressure always wanting to expand into the lower pressure area, like inside a tire.
When you pump air into the tire of a bicycle what is the state of air in the tire?
Because I don't know what your teacher is looking for:At a pressure above atmosphericCompressedConfined
