Rolling Friction: Coefficient for Tire on Concrete

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The coefficient of rolling friction for a rubber tire on concrete is typically around 0.01 to 0.02. This value represents the average frictional resistance encountered by a small tire when rolling on a concrete surface. The discussion emphasizes the simplicity of obtaining this information through a quick online search, specifically recommending the use of Google for immediate results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts related to friction
  • Familiarity with the terminology of rolling resistance
  • Basic internet navigation skills
  • Knowledge of how to conduct effective online searches
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the factors affecting the coefficient of rolling friction for different materials
  • Explore the impact of tire design on rolling resistance
  • Learn about the applications of rolling friction in automotive engineering
  • Investigate methods to measure rolling friction experimentally
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, automotive engineers, and anyone interested in the mechanics of rolling resistance and tire performance.

HI everyone who reads this,,

i need to know a simple thing, but i coudln't figure it bymyself..
what i need to know is coefficient of rolling friction

say,, a tire,(not vehicle,, just a small tire) on a concrete road
what would that be ? does anyone who knows??

it doesn't have to be accurte,, not including radius,.. just an average,
rubber wheel on concrete.

i would appreciate it
sincerely
