A tire in Manny's car has just sprung a leak and is losing pressure at a rate of 4% every hour. If the tire pressure is currently 248 kilopascals, what will it be in 20 hours? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. kilopascals
Added by Deborah G.
Step 1
This means that it retains 96% of its pressure every hour (100% - 4% = 96%). Show more…

A car tyre is inflated to a total pressure of 188 kPa with air at 24.8 °C. After 5 hours of driving the volume of the tyre has increased by 2.1 % and the total pressure is 212 kPa. Calculate the temperature in °C of the air inside the tyre. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
Adi S.
A radial tire has an air pressure of $2.20 \mathrm{~atm}$ at $32{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. After hours of high-speed driving, the temperature of the air in the tire reaches $80^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. What is the pressure in the tire at this temperature? Assume that the volume of the tire does not change.

A tire contains air at a pressure of 35.0 psi (pounds per square inch) when cold (T = 20.0 C). After the car drives at 60 miles per hour for 20 minutes, the temperature of the tire increases to 40.0 ?C). What is the tire pressure in psi assuming no change in volume for the tire? (1 atm = 14.70 psi). Please show your work.
