Suppose your car is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and the tire pressure is 34.0 psi on a 98F day in california. You decided to take a road trp to Alaska where the temperature drops to 20 F. As you arrived to Alaska, you noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system alert light is illumintated. why did this happen?

Respuesta :

Answer:Pressure decreases

Explanation:

Given Temperature decreases form 98 F to 20 F

Kinetic Energy of gas molecules depends on temperature so as the temperature decreases the kinetic energy also decreases and vice-versa.

As gas molecules lose kinetic energy they occupy less volume thereby decreasing the Pressure of tire.  

So the tire pressure monitoring system is illuminated because of the reduction in pressure beyond a defined limit.
