What does a wheel turn or spin on?

Answer 1

a wheel spins on an axis like a planet. the axis of a wheel for example is normally located where the hub is. the hub lies in the center of the wheel and connects the wheel to the vehicle its attached to. for the wheel to spin and run true, the axis has to be aligned exactly so the wheel doesn't flail around so what the wheel does spin on is very important.

Answer 2

In a car or motor bike engine the petrol which is ignited inside the cylinders causes forces which drive the crankshaft round due to those cylinders all being connected to the crankshaft.. Now an important part of the crankshaft is a heavy wheel in the centre of the crankshaft, which has a lot of kinetic energy (the energy of a moving body) stored in it. This helps the engine to revolve smoothly without any jitters if one of the plugs is not sparking correctly. In general it "smooths out" the engine performance.

Answer 3

The larger wheel turns a smaller wheel very quickly. The spindle at the center of the smaller wheel is fed a tuft of the material being spun, which is caught on the spindle, and twisted. Aditional bits of material are fed to the end of the twisted yarn, making it longer, and they in turn are twisted together. Gradually the mass of fluffy material is spun out into a long thread, suitable for weaving into cloth.

Answer 4

A Ferris wheel moves from a gravitational force which moves the axle, thus, making the wheel rotate swiftly.

Answer 5

The wheel, and all of its logical measurements, is designed to rotate on a flat surface. Vehicles like cars and bicycles are designed.

Answer 6

Same way as wheels and axles always work. In the wheels the wheels turn around the axles, in the crank the axle spin.

Answer 7

A wheel turns or spins on an axle, which is a rod or shaft that allows the wheel to rotate around it. The axle provides support and stability to the wheel as it moves.
