Astudent checks the air in her bicycle tires early in the morning when it is cool outside. if she measures it again later in the day when it is hotter outside, what will she most likely observe? explain your answer in terms of kinetic-molecular theory.

The tire pressure will be higher when the temperature is higher.

Pressure is the result of collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the tire.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

As temperature increases, gas molecules move more quickly and they collide with the tire walls more frequently and with more force.

Pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
