Question

check your understanding
a larger gear driving a smaller gear ______.
○ increases torque
○ increases speed
○ stops the robot from moving
○ causes the robot to spin in place

Explanation:

In gear - systems, when a larger gear drives a smaller gear, the smaller gear rotates faster. This is because for each rotation of the larger gear, the smaller gear makes multiple rotations. Torque is decreased in this case. It has no relation to stopping the robot or making it spin in place.

Answer:

increases speed
