When a tyre bursts, the air coming out is cooler than the surrounding air. Explain.

उत्तर
When a tyre bursts, adiabatic expansion of air takes place. The pressure inside the tyre is greater than the atmospheric pressure of the surrounding due to which the expansion of air occurs with some work done against the surrounding leading to decrease in the internal energy of the air present inside the tyre. This decrease of internal energy leads to fall in temperature of the inside air. Hence, the air coming out is cooler than that of the surrounding.
