Wheel Torque Mastery

What is the formula for calculating wheel torque?

• Torque = Mass x Acceleration

• Torque = Distance / Force

• Torque = Force x Distance

• Torque = Power / Speed

How is wheel torque applied in mechanics?

• By using the horn

• By pressing the brake pedal

• Through the up and down movement of the wheel

• Through the rotation of the wheel

Explain the relationship between wheel torque and angular acceleration.

• No relationship

• Indirectly proportional

• Constant

• Directly proportional

Solve the following problem: A wheel with a radius of 0.5 meters is attached to an axle. If a force of 100 N is applied to the edge of the wheel, what is the resulting wheel torque?

• 50 Nm

• 75 Nm

• 200 Nm

• 25 Nm

How does wheel torque affect rotational motion?

• It has no effect on rotational motion

• It determines the rate at which the wheel spins.

• It causes the wheel to stop spinning

• It determines the color of the wheel

Provide an example of a real-world application of wheel torque.

• Baking a cake

• Building a house

• Automotive engineering

• Fishing in a lake

If the radius of a wheel is doubled, how does it affect the wheel torque when the same force is applied?

• The wheel torque is tripled.

• The wheel torque remains the same.

• The wheel torque is halved.

• The wheel torque is doubled.

Explain the concept of moment of inertia in relation to wheel torque.

• The moment of inertia of a wheel is a measure of its resistance to changes in its rotation speed.

• The moment of inertia of a wheel is a measure of its resistance to changes in its temperature.

• The moment of inertia of a wheel is a measure of its resistance to changes in its size.

• The moment of inertia of a wheel is a measure of its resistance to changes in its color.

Calculate the wheel torque when a force of 150 N is applied to a wheel with a radius of 0.8 meters.

• 50 Nm

• 120 Nm

• 80 Nm

• 200 Nm

Discuss the significance of wheel torque in the design of vehicles.

• It is only important for the vehicle's aesthetics

• It has no impact on the vehicle's performance

• It determines the vehicle's acceleration, towing capacity, and overall performance.

• It only affects the vehicle's fuel efficiency
