Compressed air coming out from a punctured football ________.

A.

becomes hotter

B.

becomes cooler

C.

Remains at the same temperature

D.

May become hotter or cooler depending upon the humidity of the surrounding air 

Answer ( Option B)

becomes cooler

Solution

Compressed air coming out of punctured football becomes cooler because of adiabatic expansion. Adiabatic expansion causes a drop in temperature of the molecules present in the gas or air. Also, a lot of pressure is lost during this type of expansion. This is related to the principle of thermodynamics.

 Hence, the correct option is (B).
