As you move outward from the center of a wheel, the distance to go around it (circumference of the circle) becomes larger. Since the wheel is a solid object, the outside must complete the same number of revolutions per minute as the the inside, at the center or axle (360 degrees, 2pi radians). Since it has a much longer distance to travel, the outside must move at a higher speed.
The same principle applies to spheres (3 dimensional circles): because the Earth is a single object rotating around its axis, the surface at the equator is moving at more than 1000 mph to the east, while the poles spin in place without moving.

If a compass spins twice around is the circumference doubled?
Yes! If It spins one time, then that is the circumference. Therefore if you spin it a second time, that doubles it!
How many kilo meters is the circumference of the earth?
Call it 40,000, you'll be near enough for Wiki... The metre is defined as one-forty-millionth of the polar circumference, it's a little higher at the equator because of the spin...
At how many revolutions per minute do the wheels of a bike typically spin?
The revolutions per minute of a bike wheel depends on the size of the wheel, the speed you are riding, and other factors. It is generally thought it can spin at 2 revolutions per second.
Do bigger planets spin faster than smaller ones?
The size of the planet doesn't have an effect on how fast a planet spins, therefore the speed to spin is random or has some other factor.
What is the probability of a spin land on blue in wheel had 4 colors equal part if you spin it 5 times?
Prob(at least one Blue if you spin it 5 times) = 1 - Prob(No Blue in 5 spins) = 1 - (3/4)5 = 1 - 243/1024 = 781/1024 = 0.7627 approx.
The center part of a wheel?
The center part of the wheel is a spin
Why does a flat tire spin faster?
A flat tire spins faster for a couple of reasons. This could happen because there is no force holding it back. A soft or flat tire has a smaller circumference which forces the tire to spin faster to keep up the same speed.
How do gears change the speed of something?
Same way as any gear set does. If you have a large wheel(more teeth) driving a smaller wheel(fewer teeth), then the smaller wheel will spin faster, but with less force. If you have a small wheel driving a big wheel, then the big wheel will spin slower but stronger.
Why do bike lights get brighter when pedal faster?
If the lights are powered by a generator driven by the wheel, then you get more power from the generator the faster the wheels spin.
Why does a car speedometer have to be programmed with the circumference of the car's wheels?
The car wheel size has to be calibrated with the speedometer because the circumference of the wheel touches the ground: ergo a huge wheel like those found on heavy machinery can spin slower because with each revolution it covers... say 5-10 feet.
Where is the spin wheel on smallworlds?
The spin wheel is on the homepage of Smallworlds.
When was Spin That Wheel created?
Spin That Wheel was created in 1990.
What changes speed in cars?
What do you mean by that question? There are a lot of things that change speed in a car. When more air and fuel enter the cylinders on a motor, it makes it speed up. When the motor speeds up, it makes the transmission spin faster, and when you shift gears it makes the driveshaft spin faster, along with the gears in the rearend, unless you have a front wheel drive car, then it makes the wheels spin faster. When the motor speeds up, the accessories driven by the belt or belts on the front of the motor spin faster. when the wheels spin faster, the car goes faster.
When was Spin the Wheel created?
Spinning the Wheel was created in 1995.
what is a wheel?
A wheel is a round object that can spin
Is there any such thing as a spin wheel that will give you saige American girl if you spin a wheel for free?
NO
