Homework Statement
Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.00 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 and goes a distance of 17.2 ; the other is at 105 and goes a distance of 92.3 . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be = 9.80 .
What is the coefficient of rolling friction for the tire under low pressure?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the acceleration to be -0.19 I am stuck at that part I don't know what to do from there.
