Pressure In Gases Experiment Hypothesis: Using the recommended tire pressure will provide better gasoline mileage. When the tire pressure is lower than the recommended value‚ the surface contact area between the tire and the road is greater. This will cause greater friction and more energy is required to move the car. As a result‚ more gasoline will be consumed. When the air pressure of a car’s tire is higher than the recommended value‚ the contact area between the tire and the road is reduced.

air pressure of a football to the performance of a athlete? Alex Long Purpose The purpose for my experiment is to work out scientifically whether the air pressure inside a football effects the performance of a sports performer. There are several different types and brands of footballs all with different structures and pressure recommended for the ball. It would be interesting to find out the differences between the different companies and whether the air pressure inside
