Question 824902: Okay, my father and I have been an argument for days on this. We were arguing about wheel sizes and their effected distance traveled. A larger wheel has a greater circumference; therefore one revolution will travel a farther distance. Here's the argument. If you have two wheels of different sizes, one small and one large, and rotate them with the exact same force on an axle- Will the larger wheel travel a farther distance in a given time because it can cover more distance, or because it actually rotates faster at the point of contact on the ground. My argument is the smaller wheel and the larger wheel can actually be "spinning" (rotational speed) at the exact same speed, but because a larger wheel will cover a greater distance on one complete turn, will move faster along a plane...?
