Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.3 m/sm/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psipsi and goes a distance of 19.0 mm ; the other is at 105 psipsi and goes a distance of 93.8 mm . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be g� = 9.8 m/s2m/s2 . What is the coefficient of rolling friction μr�r for the tire under low pressure?

Question

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.3 m/sm/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psipsi and goes a distance of 19.0 mm ; the other is at 105 psipsi and goes a distance of 93.8 mm . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be g� = 9.8 m/s2m/s2 .

What is the coefficient of rolling friction μr�r for the tire under low pressure?
