Why do we use the first gear to start a car or scooter at rest ? Whatwould happen if we started a car/scooter in a higher gear? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) CONSIDER the FORCES REQUIRED to move avehicle (i) at rest (ii) moving at uniformvelocity. (ii) In the 1st gear of thevehicle, thedriven gear hasmore number of turns than thedriving gear. (iii) Gain in torque `= ("number of turns in driven gear")/("number of turns in driving gear")` (iv) The car at rest has to overcome INERTIA and static frictionwhich requiresa large torque. |
