Question

1. If a Gear with a 3 inch Diameter is being turned by a Gear with a 6 inch Diameter, which Gear will rotate at a higher Rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

The smaller gear will rotate faster.

Explanation:

If a larger gear is driven by a smaller gear, the large gear will rotate slower than the smaller gear but will have a greater moment. For example, a low gear on a bike or car. If a smaller gear is driven by a larger gear, the smaller gear will rotate quicker than the larger gear but will have a smaller moment.

I hope this helps! :)
