AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the change in overpressure of a bicycle tire as the temperature increases from 22°C to 38°C, starting with an initial overpressure of 4.0 atm. It emphasizes the need to apply the ideal gas law, specifically the relationship between pressure and temperature, assuming constant volume and atmospheric pressure. Participants are encouraged to provide insights on how to approach the problem mathematically. The importance of understanding gas behavior under varying temperatures is highlighted. This analysis is crucial for accurately predicting tire pressure changes throughout the day.

Homework Statement



When a bicycle tire is filled early in the morning at 22 degrees C, the overpressure is 4.0 atm. What is the overpressure later in the day, when the temperature is 38 degrees C? Assume that the atmospheric pressure os 1.0 atm is constant.

You have to tell us what you know about the relationship between pressure and temperature for a gas. Assume the gas is ideal and that the volume does not change.

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 .

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...
