AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Boyle's Law to a bicycle pump and tire system, where the initial air volume is 200 cm³ in the pump and 800 cm³ in the tire, with an initial pressure of 1.0 atmosphere in the flat tire. Participants are encouraged to solve for the total initial air volume, the volume of air after the pump is used, and the resulting pressure in the tire. The forum emphasizes understanding the problem-solving process rather than simply providing answers. Users are invited to attempt solutions and seek clarification on specific points of confusion. Engaging in the problem-solving process is highlighted as a key aspect of learning.

A bicycle pump contains 200 cm³ o fair and is connected to a bicycle tyre.
The volume of the tyre is 800 cm³. The pressure of the air in the tyre (it is `flat´) is 1.0 atmosphere, the same as the air initially?
A) What is the total volume of the air initially? (=volume1)
B) What is the volume of air after the pump is pushed in? (=volume2)
C) What will be the pressure in the tyre then?


Can you please give me the answers?
If possible explain it?
Would be nice of you.
Thankyou!

Diana,

Sorry, but PF rules discourage "giving answers". Plus, where is the fun in that? We do, however, answer questions related to your problem solving process. Go ahead and attempt a solution--if you are confused about something, say so.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
