What is the Difference between pulley and a gear?
what is
If you have a worm gear and a sprocket gear and the worm gear rotates slowly on its shaft how will the sprocket gear turn?
Even slower
What other simple machine is like a pulley?
A sprocket is like a pulley, the difference being that a sprocket has gear-like teeth, to transport a chain rather than a belt. A bicycle has two sprockets, one attached to the pedals, and one attached to the rear wheel.
What the difference between a driving gear and a driven gear?
The "driving" or drive gear is the source of power or rotation. The driven gear is turned or moved by the drive gear. Example: The pulley on a motor is the drive pulley and a pulley on a pump is the driven pulley. Example: The pinion gear in a differential is the drive gear and the ring is the driven gear.

When your in low gear what sprocket are you using?
It depends on whether you are talking about the front sprocket (the one at the pedals, called a chainring) or the sprocket at the rear derailleur. The lowest gear at the front is the smallest sprocket/chainring. The lowest gear at the rear is the largest sprocket. So if you combine the smallest sprocket at the front with the largest sprocket in the rear you have the lowest gear available on your bike.
What is a crank gear?
The sprocket on the nose of the crankshaft that drives the cam sprocket.
What is a bicycle gear?
On a bike there's one(or more) front sprocket(s) by the pedals connected by a chain to one(or more) rear sprocket(s) by the rear wheel. As the wheel isn't driven directly by the pedals, and there's usually a difference in size between the front & rear sprocket this constitutes a gear.
What is the function of a cassette sprocket in a bicycle's gear system?
The function of a cassette sprocket in a bicycle's gear system is to provide different gear ratios, allowing the rider to adjust the resistance and speed when pedaling.
If you can change pulley sizes to increase speed which way do you go?
Think about your ten speed bicycle. The bike is in the lowest gear when the front sprocket is on the smallest diameter and the rear is on the largest. On the contrary, when the bike is at high speed, the rear is on the small diameter sprocket and the front is on the large diameter sprocket. Therefore, increasing the drive pulley size will increase the driven pulley speed (assuming the drive pulley stays at the same RPM). Similarly, increasing the driven pulley size will result in a slower speed (again, assuming the drive pulley stays at the same RPM).
Where is a sprocket used?
The name 'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon which are radial projections that engage a chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never meshed together directly, and differs from a pulley in that sprockets have teeth and pulleys are smooth. A sprocket can be used for many things, depending on what you need it to do. Sprockets is most commonly used for tracked vehicles.
What dos first gear look like on a bike?
Chain is on the smallest sprocket on the crank and on the largest sprocket on the rear wheel
