Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each trav

els before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psi and goes a distance of 18.2 m; the other is at 105 psi and goes a distance of 92.6 m. Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2. What is the coefficient of rolling friction μr for the tire under low pressure?

Answer:

The coefficient of rolling friction will be "0.011".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial speed,

v_i = 4.0 \ m/s

then,

v_f=\frac{4.0}{2}

    =2.0 \ m/s

Distance,

s = 18.2 m

The acceleration of a bicycle will be:

⇒ a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{(2.0)^2-(4.0)^2}{2\times 18.2}

⇒    =\frac{4-8}{37}

⇒    =\frac{-4}{37}

⇒    =0.108 \ m/s^2

As we know,

⇒  f=ma

and,

⇒  \mu_rmg=ma

⇒       \mu_r=\frac{a}{g}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒       =\frac{0.108}{9.8}

⇒       =0.011

Answer:

0.3950m

Explanation:

Use conservation of angular momentum:

Let L be the angular momentum(a vector).

We know that:p=mv, L=l\omega, \ \ \ l=\sum (m_ir_i^2)} and that the two masses have the same radius:

L_o=2mr_o^2\omega_o=L_f=2mr_f^2\omega_f\\\\r_o=0.795m,\omega_o=10\times2\pi \ rad/m , \omega_f=40.5\times 2\pi \ rad/m\\\\\therefore r_f=r_o\sqrt{(w_o/w_f)}\\\\r_f=0.795\sqrt{(10.0/40.5)}\\\\r_f=0.3950m

Hence, the weights are 0.3950m away .

Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.

Answer: I put the importance of the lab in the topic is to find how dense an object is and if it can sink or float and it's important to answer the question so you can also find mass and volume.
