Doing a 7 th grade science project. Can a car run on compressed air? Ran a kids toy car using an 11 gal. air tank and 125 psi. how much farther would a car run with a 200 gal. tank and 4,000 psi. thanks.
As air pressure increases, the density of air molecules also increases. This means that there are more particles colliding with each other, creating more energy in the form of heat and kinetic energy.
According to the ideal gas law, an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in volume. This results in air molecules being more tightly packed together, causing them to collide more frequently and with greater force, thus increasing the overall energy in the system.
Yes, there is a limit to how much energy can increase as air pressure increases. As the pressure continues to increase, the air molecules reach a point where they can no longer move as freely, and the energy levels will eventually plateau.
As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases, resulting in a decrease in energy levels. This is because there are fewer air molecules at higher altitudes, leading to less frequent collisions and lower overall energy.
Yes, air pressure can be used to generate energy in systems such as wind turbines or compressed air energy storage. These methods rely on the conversion of the kinetic energy produced by the increase in air pressure into usable forms of energy such as electricity.
