The __________ Gear causes motion

True or False:

A gear ratio is the ratio of the number of rotations of a driver gear to the number of rotations of a driven gear.

To optimize the performance of our kinetic cars the driving gear is where the elastic band gets wound up and it needs to be _____________ than the driven gear.

To optimize the performance of our kinetic cars the driven wheels should be connected with the _________ gears

To optimize the performance of our kinetic cars the driven wheels should be connected with the _________ gears

In a bicycle the biggest gear is the

Compound Gear Reduction and is calculated by _________the gear reductions of each of the individual gear pairs.

All gears in between the driving gear and the driven gear that only transmit power are known as ______

_________have NO EFFECT on Gear Ratio or Gear Reduction, regardless of the number of teeth they have.

Gear reduction is seen as a fraction that is often reduced to simplify the expression. Gear reduction: 40 / 12 gets reduced to

When you have a system with a driving gear that is LARGER than the driven gear you will ___________________

When you have a system with a driving gear that is _______ than the driven gear you will increase torque and decrease speed.

What do we call the gear connected to the output, such as a wheel or mechanism in a system?

What do we call the gear connected to the input power source, such as a motor?

Making a _________________change is one of the easiest ways to change mechanical advantage in a mechanism or system to achieve the desired speed and/or torque.
