This situation is an excellent demonstration that in most (anything on
Teflon is a counter example) cases, the coefficient of static friction is
greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces
sliding with respect to each other. The rotating wheel is experiencing
static friction at its interface with the incline while the taped wheel is
experiencing kinetic friction.
