PV/T = k = constant
Volume of the tires are essentially constant although they can give a little. Friction between tires and pavement causes heat to be generated. If V is to stay essentially the same, then P must go up if T goes up in order keep k the same.
The heavier the load the more work the motorcycle must do to haul the load and that causes heat to be generated.
using the ideal gas law or the combined gas law,why does the air pressure inside the tires on my motorcycle increases during the time I am riding it. Consider what factors are being kept constant and what are changing and how. What if I weigh alot?
