Question
Explain why:
Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
✓
Answer
When a car is in motion, the air temperature inside the car increases because of the motion of the air molecules. According to Charles’ law, temperature is directly proportional to pressure. Hence, if the temperature inside a tyre increases, then the air pressure in it will also increase.

A tuning fork of frequency 256Hz produces 4 beats per second with a wire of length 25cm vibrating in its fundamental mode. The beat frequency decreases when the length is slightly shortened. What could be the minimum length by which the wire be shortened so that it produces no beats with the tuning fork?
