Question

For the questions below, include units if applicable. If necessary, use a separate sheet of paper for 1, 6c and 7c. Tire pressure is in part a function of the temperature of the tire.

1. Based on everyday experience, state (in words) the relationship between tire pressure and temperature. Look at the data below and see if the numbers support your statement.
2. Prepare a hand-drawn plot of the two variables on the reverse side of this worksheet. Include a title, axis labels (with units), and a trendline. Estimate the tire pressure when the temperature is 18.6°C: Estimate the temperature of the air in the tire when the pressure is 37.0 psi: 3.
a. Prepare a plot using graphing software. Include a title, axis labels (with units), the equation of the best-fit Line and the R? value on the graph.
b. Re-write the equation of the best-fit line substituting "Temperature" for x and "Pressure" for y directly on the graph.
c. Attach the fully labeled graph to this worksheet.
4. What is the value of the slope for the relationship between temperature and pressure?
5. Determine the percent error using the definition of percent error: Use 0.145 psi/" for the "Actual" value of the slope. %error = Actual-Experimental % Error Actual
6. Based on your computer-generated graph,
a. visually estimate the tire pressure when the temperature is 18.6°C:
b. calculate the tire pressure at this temperature using the equation of the best fit line: the graph to ensure that this value is reasonable.
c. compare the calculated pressure to the two visually interpolated values (Steps 2 and 6a). Comment on any discrepancies.
7. Based on your computer-generated graph,
a. visually estimate the temperature of the air in the tire when the pressure is 37.0 psi:
b. calculate the temperature of the air in the tire at this pressure: Use the graph to ensure that this value is reasonable.
c. compare the calculated temperature to the two visually interpolated values (Steps 2 and 7a). Comment on any discrepancies.

Answer 1

All answer are explained below in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The pressure varies proportionally with the change in temperature. It can also be observed in our daily lives.

As for example, a pressure cooker uses the same principal to cook food faster. With the increasing temperature, the pressure inside the cooker increases.

Thus after a while, the excess pressure inside is released through the top nozzle. The data shown below supports that pressure and temperature varies linearly.

2. Hand drawn plot is attached in the attachment please refer to the attachment for the hand drawn plot.

Tire pressure at temperature 18.6 degree C is ~ 35 psi.

Temperature at air pressure of 37 psi is ~26.1 degree C

3. a.) Necessary values are included in the stat box. It is attached in the attachment please refer to the attachment.

3. b) The equation becomes: Pressure = 0.176 x temperature + 32.32

3. c) It is already done in part a of this question.

4. The value of the slope estimated from the linear fit is 0.176 +/- 0.094.

5. % Error =
`(Actual - Experiment)/(Actual) x 100`

Plugging in the values, we get:

Actual = 0.145, Experimental = 0.176. Thus, percentage error is given by:

% Error = 21.33%

6. a.) Visual estimation of tire pressure at t = 18.6 degree C is ~ 35 psi

6. b.) Estimation of pressure from the best fit line is given by 35.6 psi, which is consistent with the eye estimation value.

6. c.) The eye estimation and the estimation from the line fit are quite comparable. The discrepancy of +/-0.5 psi is within the percentage error calculated in 5.

7. a.) Visual estimation of temperature of the air for a tire-pressure of 37 psi is ~ 26 degree C.

7. b.) Estimation of temperature from best fit value of line is = 26.64 degree C

7 c) The values from eye estimation and evaluated from the fit are quite consistent within a random fluctuation of +/- 0.64 degree C.
