What type of simple machine is a wagon wheel?
A wagon wheel is a type of wheel and axle simple machine. It allows for easier movement of heavy loads by reducing friction and enabling the wagon to roll more smoothly.
Is an example of a device that uses a wheel a device that uses a wheel and axle?
Yes, a wheelbarrow is an example of a device that uses both a wheel and axle. The wheel helps in reducing friction and allowing easy movement, while the axle serves as the central support structure for the wheel.
What kind of friction results when a wheel turns on its surface?
Rolling friction occurs when a wheel turns on its surface. This type of friction is caused by the contact between the wheel and the surface it is rolling on, which resists the movement of the wheel. Rolling friction is generally lower than sliding friction, making it easier for the wheel to move.
What are advantages of wheel?
Rolling friction is less than sliding friction so it is easier to move heavier objects using wheels.
How can you increase braking distance?
By reducing the coefficient of friction between the brakes and the wheel OR between the road and the wheels.
Why car use circular wheel?
Cars use a circular wheel because the design of a wheel results in static friction instead of kinetic friction (sliding). This makes it easier for cars to get traction and makes it easier to get moving and also stop. Other shapes just wouldnt be as efficient when trying to do everything.
How do you reduce the amount of effort on a wheel and axle to overcome load?
To reduce the effort needed to overcome a load on a wheel and axle, you can either increase the size of the wheel or decrease the size of the axle. This will increase the mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift the load with less effort. Additionally, reducing friction between the wheel and axle can also help reduce the effort needed.
Tell you some apllications of rolling friction?
A wheel is an example of rolling friction. An example of rolling friction would be if you took kyle leary and folled him down a hill. his fat touching the grond would create rolling friction
Was the wheel invented or discovered?
Actually the wheel was discovered first. When early men had seen them, they would have understand that it made transferring of load easier as, we all know that rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction. So, after that, they had made improvement in the 'WHEEL'. and then locomotives came into being.
What simple machine is found on the bottom of a wagon?
A wagon typically includes wheels, which are an example of the simple machine known as a wheel and axle. This simple machine allows the wagon to move easily over various surfaces by reducing friction.
Why do wheels need ball bearings to reduce friction?
Ball bearings reduce friction by allowing the wheel to rotate around an axle smoothly. The bearings distribute the load evenly, reducing the amount of friction between the moving parts, which helps the wheel spin freely and with less resistance.
What simple machine has a rope over a wheel?
A tire is a wheel and axle. This simple machine makes work easier by reducing the amount of force that needs to be applied to move a load.It is an Wheel and axle.
