Motor pulley car science project information?

A motor pulley car science project typically involves attaching a small motor to a car chassis, with a pulley system to drive the wheels. By adjusting the size of the pulley, you can explore how different gear ratios affect the speed and torque of the car. This project demonstrates basic principles of mechanical advantage and gear systems in a hands-on way.

How does physical science relate to a bicycle?

Well, part of physical science is simple machines and compound machines. The simple machines are the gear, screw, wedge, lever, pulley, and wheel and axle, and inclined plane. A bicycle is a compound machine. It is made up of the wheel and axle, gear, pulley, and lever. so it corresponds with that part of PHYSICAL SCIENCE. Hope this answer helped!!!


What does double pulley system mean in science?

A "double pulley" may refer to a two-block (two rope) pulley, or to the arrangement of two separate pulley blocks as a "block and tackle" -- designed to make lifting easier by reducing the necessary lifting force: a smaller force is applied over a greater distance to achieve a mechanical advantage.


How can the mechanical advantage of a pulley system be determined without using any equations?
