In a wheel and axle system, the smaller wheel is typically referred to as the axle, while the larger wheel is simply called the wheel. The axle rotates within the wheel, allowing for easier movement and the transfer of force. This mechanism is commonly used in vehicles and machinery to amplify force or speed, depending on the size ratio between the wheel and axle. The smaller wheel helps improve efficiency by reducing friction and facilitating rotation.
A large wheel connected to a smaller wheel is a simple machine.
The pinion wheel is smaller than the spur wheel in single purchase crab because it is the one that drives the spur wheel.
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.

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.
Well, think about it. If you have a small wheel, the smaller the diameter, height and width. Therefore closer to the ground.
a fish is smaller than a wheel
The pinion wheel is smaller than the spur wheel to achieve a mechanical advantage in gear systems. The smaller size of the pinion allows it to rotate faster than the larger spur wheel, resulting in an increase in speed while reducing torque. This size differential is essential for applications requiring changes in speed and torque, enabling efficient power transmission in machinery. Additionally, using a smaller pinion helps minimize space and weight in gear assemblies.
No , the 4x100 is a smaller bolt pattern.
the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
A larger diameter wheel rotates a fewer number of times to cover the same distance as a smaller wheel.
A wheel from your skate board may work on a rip stick. It should be an outdoor wheel and needs to be 77mm or smaller.
