I answered this question already, but would like you to check if the answer I provided was right. If for some reason my answer was not right please provide me with the right answer.
1)The air in the inner tube of the tire of a racing bike has a pressure of 115 psi. Convert this pressure to atm.
My answer to this question is 115 atm.
No. You must convert psi (pounds per square inch) to atm. Although I'm not a bike racer, 115 psi sounds high for a pressure in a bike tire. I think there are 14.7 lbs/in^2 in 1 atm.
To convert the pressure from psi to atm, you need to use the conversion factor 1 atm = 14.7 psi. You would divide the given pressure in psi by 14.7 to get the pressure in atm.
Let's calculate:
Pressure in atm = (Pressure in psi) / (Conversion factor)
= (115 psi) / (14.7 psi/atm)
≈ 7.82 atm
So, the correct answer is approximately 7.82 atm.
