NO. The smaller the wheel the more revolutions it turns if both are driven at the same speed. So, the smaller the wheel the faster it turns.

No. Bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels. They roll slower because they have a larger circumference and they take longer to roll. Smaller wheels have a smaller circumference meaning they go faster.

Do bigger wheels roll faster articles?

Per given number of rotations/time, the larger the distance covered per rotation/time the higher the speed. If you pit them against each other on a ramp in a vacuum, then they'd roll at the same speed, different rotations/time 's In reality you have to factor in wind-resistance is greater than that on the smaller wheel.


Why are bikes wheels so thin?

A smaller wheel will have less rotational inertia - it will be easier to get it spinning. A smaller wheel will also make the overall length of the bike shorter - an advantage during storage. A smaller wheel will also be proportionally stronger sideways - which is an advantage during hard riding. The downside of all this though is that a small bump in the road will be a proportionally bigger obstacle than for a bigger wheel, which makes the ride harsher. If you're a really fast rider the smaller wheel will offer a lower top gear ratio than a bigger wheel, which will either limit your top speed or force you to get custom chainwheels to compensate.


Why is a vehicle with wheels that have a large diameter more likely to roll over than a vehicle with wheels that have a smaller diameter?

The larger the wheels have a higher center of mass than a smaller one. The higher the center of mass, the smaller the tilt needed to cause the wheel's center of mass to move outside its base and cause the wheel to roll over.

What is the advantage to a rear high wheel lawn mower?

The larger wheels roll much easier over rough terrain. Smaller wheels can get swallowed by small divots and bumps where a larger diameter wheel will roll over the smaller divot's without dropping down in.
