What kind of wheel turns another wheel to make it go faster or slower?

The wheel that turns another is called a drive wheel. The wheel that is being turned by another wheel is the driven wheel. The wheels could be v-belt or flat belt driven in which case the wheels would be pulleys. They could also be driven by chain in which case the wheels would be sprockets. The wheels could also have direct drive in which case they would be called gears.

What kind of wheel turns another wheel to make it go faster?
The "drive" wheel.
Do bigger wheels roll faster then smaller wheels?
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.
How does a skidder steer?
The wheel or tracks are powered by hydraulics. When one side turns slower than the other the machine turns.
Does a gyroscope work better if it is heavier or if it spins faster?
All I know is that if the Gyroscope's wheel is heavier it will precess faster and if it spins faster it will precess slower. But I'm not sure if slower or faster precession creates a more stable gyroscope.
What is the effect of larger wheel on wheel and axle?
One of two things: 1. The wheel moves the axel: The axel goes slower. 2. The axle moves the wheel: The Wheel goes faster.
Do bigger wheel roll faster?
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.
What are a series of toothed wheels that are connected so that one wheel turns another?
Gears
How do gears change the speed of something?
Same way as any gear set does. If you have a large wheel(more teeth) driving a smaller wheel(fewer teeth), then the smaller wheel will spin faster, but with less force. If you have a small wheel driving a big wheel, then the big wheel will spin slower but stronger.
How do you prevent under steering?
Align front end. Install new shocks. Also come slower into your turns and maybe switch to a rear wheel drive vehicle.
When wheel B turns 2 revolutions wheel A turns 5 revolutions When wheel A turns 40 revolutions how many revolutions does wheel B turn?
4
If driving wheel and driven wheel of gear system are of same size which will more faster?
Gears are used to transfer force from one wheel to another. When gears are of the same size then driving gear will move faster as force is being applied on
How does the size of wheel affect the car speed and torque?
A smaller wheel will be easier to turn, but will travel less for each revolution. A bigger wheel will be harder to turn, but will go farther with each revolution. Sticking a bigger wheel on a car that hasn't got the power to get it turning properly will make you slower - not faster. Sticking a smaller wheel on a car that's already red lining the tach won't make it faster either.
