Before that can be assessed you need to determine what size of bicycle tire you're thinking of.

A really narrow tire for a road bike has a very small internal volume while a 2.3-2.4 wide MTB tire will take plenty.

The really nice mathematical way of approacing it would be by approximating the tire as a torus, calculating the volume of a few different sizes and then comparing it to the volume of a sphere the size of a Basketball.

The less elegant (but simpler) way is to approximate the tire size as if the tire is a long cylindrical bar instead, with the length the same as the circumference of the wheel.

And of course this is all assuming the same pressure in both ball and tire.

Why does a ball bounce higher than others?

it will bounce higher if there is more air. ex. Flat basketball- being flat, the ball will just hit the floor and will be pressed inwards on the spot it landed pumped basketball- being full of air, the ball hits the ground and like a flat basketball is pressed inwards. but because there's air in it, the air will make the ball retain its shape and bounce.

Two pump are being used one pump 5000 L in 20 min and other 5000 L in 25 min how long will it take the two pumps together to pump 5000 L?

ANSWERPUMP Iwater pumped in 20 min = 5000 Lwater pumped in 1 min = 5000 / 20 L = 250 LPUMP IIwater pumped in 25 min = 5000 Lwater pumped in 1 min = 5000 / 25 L = 200 Llet x be the time for which pump I works and let y be the amount of time for which pump II works.then250x + 200y = 50005x + 4y = 100


Why will a vacuum pump not work in a well that is more than 10 m deep?

The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well. That is only strong enough to support a column of water that is 10m tall.The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well.

Is there a limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire?

Yes there most certainty is a limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire. Put too much air in the tire and it will explode. The maximum air pressure for the tire is listed on the sidewall of the tire.

What air is pumped out of a bicycle pump?

A regular bicycle pump will just suck in ambient air8whatever air that's around it) before forcing it out through the nozzle.


Is there no limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire?

No, there is a limit. The bicycle tyre should be inflated to the manufactures specified pressure for the tyre to perform properly and the bicycle to be safe to ride. Over inflating the tyre may cause it to pop off the wheel rim and burst.


Why does a basketball have to be filled with air?

Because it will not be able to bounce which is important and i can be kids heavy is not all the way pumped


Does the air inside a fully pumped basketball have a lower or higher pressure than the outside?

The air inside a fully pumped basketball have a higher pressure than the air outside due to a greater number of gas particles per unit volume inside the ball than in the surrounding air.


Description of a basketball?

Describe how molecules in the air behave when you pump air into a bicycle tire?

When air is pumped into a bicycle tire, the molecules in the air are pushed into the tire, increasing the pressure inside. The molecules move more rapidly and collide frequently with the walls of the tire, which causes the pressure to rise. This increased pressure creates a force that keeps the tire inflated and able to support the weight of the bicycle and rider.


Tom plumped air into his bicycle tire until the tire is fullhe is still able to pump some air what does this show?

This shows air can be compressed so more air could be pumped in.
