No, the wheel on a car is not a sphere. It is a circular device that is attached to the axle of the car and rotates to move the vehicle.

How would a spherical wheel stay connected to a car?

If the wheel was placed in a housing that was a bit larger than half a semi-sphere the wheel would not come out. think a ball point-pen, the ball is pressure fitted into the housing, which passes the balls largest diameter so it cannot fall out. For the ball to spin freely/easily the housing can be full of smaller ball bearing that will allow the system to have minimal friction but still keep the sphere'd wheel at bay


What is one example of a wheel and axle used everyday?

One example of a wheel and axle used everyday is a car. The wheel (tire) rotates around the axle (shaft) when the car is in motion, allowing the vehicle to move efficiently.


Which tires moves when you accelerate the car?

The front tires move when you accelerate a front-wheel drive car, while the rear tires move when you accelerate a rear-wheel drive car. All-wheel drive cars have power going to all four tires when accelerating.


Why can't the car wheels can be replaced by a sphere balls?

Car wheels are specially designed to provide traction, stability, and handling on various road surfaces. Sphere balls do not have the necessary features for safe and efficient vehicle operation, such as steering control, load-bearing capacity, and shock absorption. Replacing car wheels with sphere balls would compromise the vehicle's performance, safety, and functionality.


Is a fan belt in a car a wheel and axle?

No, a fan belt in a car is part of the engine's system used to drive accessories like the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. It is a loop of flexible material that rotates pulleys, not a wheel and axle which involves a wheel (the axle) turning on a central axis.
