If the axle rotation speed remains the same, yes.
yeah. they will have less kinetic energy as they require more force to move
GEAR
A bigger wheel rolls smoother over roots, branches and stones. Bigger wheels have more inertia, so getting a 29er up to speed will be heavier than a 26". Bigger wheels are proportionally weaker sideways, as they use the same width hubs as 26" wheels.
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.
The placement wouldn't affect the speed, but would affect the handling.
No need, if the wheels are not adjustable, change them to bigger diameter.
By buying bigger wheels....and putting them on
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.
54 are bigger.
Yes. An odometer countr the number of turns. A bigger wheel has a longer circumference, so one turn equals a longer distance travelled. Change to bigger(diameter, not width) wheels and the odo (and the speedo too) will read low (= show less mileage/speed than actually travelled). Change to smaller (diameter, not width) and they will read high (show more mileage/speed than actually travelled).
yes
if you can't change the RPM of the motor, you have to change the gearing of the chain drive. Fit a smaller sprocket to the motor to slow the conveyor down, or a bigger to speed it up.
