Intro to Connected Wheels definitions Flashcards

The linear speed at the edge of a rotating object, equal for connected wheels via a chain or belt.

The rate of rotation of an object, differing for wheels of different radii when connected.

A point around which a wheel rotates without moving sideways, like a bolted gear.

Allows a wheel to move as it rotates, typical in bicycles where wheels are not fixed.

The distance from the center to the edge of a wheel, affecting its angular speed.

The study of motion of rotating objects, often involving connected wheels.

A connector that ensures equal tangential velocity between two rotating wheels.

A flexible loop that transmits motion and force between rotating wheels.

The number of rotations per unit time, interchangeable with angular velocity in equations.

The time taken for one complete rotation, inversely related to frequency.

Revolutions per minute, a measure of rotational speed, convertible to angular velocity.

Toothed wheels that interlock to transmit motion, often used in connected wheel problems.

Wheels on an axle designed to support movement and change direction of a belt or chain.

A situation where an increase in one quantity results in a decrease in another, such as radius and angular speed.

Different forms of the main equation using frequency, period, and RPM to solve rotational problems.
