I wonder why the height of my dad's car looks shorter outside in the winter compared to it being in our garage?
I think it has to do with the how much space air takes up in the tires and something about temperature, right?
Yeah, it also had to do with that one guy's scientific law. Oh, what's that guy's name? It's on the tip of my tongue.
Who are you and where did you come from !
That doesn't matter now. What matters is that I'm going to help you figure out your question.
Do you mean Charles's Law?
First thing to do is note that there are gases inside a tire, the weather outside is a colder temperature, and finally, the garage is probably more heated then outside.
Now, as stated by Charles's Law, when a gas's temperatures is changed, the volume is also proportionally changed. So when a gases temperature is increased, it's volume/size is increased. While if a gases temperature is lowered, it's volume/size is lowered.
As strange as this situation is , that actually helped. Thank you.
Wait...he never told me how he got here and who he was... Oh well, whatever!
Well, I guess my work is done here then. Goodbye.
Okay, I think I get it. According to Charles's Law, gases' volume and temperature are directly proportional; meaning when one goes up, the other goes up and when one goes down, the other one goes down. So, in this case, when the car is outside in the cold, the gas temperature in the tire is lower. So, if the temperature is going down that means the gas molecules start to contract and the volume decreases; hence the car loses a bit of height. When the car is in the warmer garage, the gas molecules heat up and expand; meaning the volume increases and the car gains some height.
