Charles's Law Connection
For my project, I am doing a project on Charles's Law: Volume vs. Temperature of a Gas at Constant Pressure. I have collected data and shows the proportional relationship. The requirement for this project is to identify how this experiment plays a role or has an effect in your life. I don't know how charles's law affects our everyday life so I hope someone can guide me on this.

Re: Charles's Law Connection
Hi pinkysharma80,
A hot air balloon is an example Charles' Law in action. When air is heated it expands and fills the balloon. Also, the air pressure in automobile and bicycle tires changes with temperature. For example, if you inflate your bike tire to a certain pressure and leave it outside on a cold night, the pressure will drop due to the temperature.
Some other examples are described at the following links:

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
