  2. Motion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_ratio

    The force in the spring is (roughly) the vertical force at the contact patch divided by the motion ratio, and the spring rate is the wheel rate divided by the motion ratio squared. I R = S p r i n g D i s p l a c e m e n t W h e e l D i s p l a c e m e n t . {\displaystyle IR={\frac {SpringDisplacement}{WheelDisplacement}}.}

    The equation u - v=at implies that the greater the acceleration the shorter the time needed to change speed. The stopping distance s is also shortest when acceleration a is at the highest possible value compatible with road conditions: the equation s=ut + 1/2 at 2 makes s low when a is high and t is low.

  4. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry - Wikipedia

    According to the equation listed above, increasing the trail and/or decreasing the head angle will increase the wheel flop factor on a bicycle or motorcycle, which will increase the torque required to bring the handlebars back to the straight ahead position and increase the vehicle's tendency to veer suddenly off the line of a curve.

  5. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Simplified diagram of gear inches: As the rear sprocket is halfed in size, the distance traveled by the rear wheel doubles, at half the torque. Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent (direct-drive) gearing.

  6. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    Sketch 2: Pole of a planar displacement. The instant center can be considered the limiting case of the pole of a planar displacement. The planar displacement of a body from position 1 to position 2 is defined by the combination of a planar rotation and planar translation. For any planar displacement there is a point in the moving body that is ...

  7. Motorcycle transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_transmission

    A motorcycle transmission is a transmission created specifically for motorcycle applications. They may also be found in use on other light vehicles such as motor tricycles and quadbikes , go-karts , offroad buggies, auto rickshaws , mowers, and other utility vehicles, microcars , and even some superlight racing cars.

  8. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. [1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory .

  9. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    From the foregoing, you can see that the time domain equations are simply scaled forms of the angle domain equations: is unscaled, ′ is scaled by ω, and ″ is scaled by ω². To convert the angle domain equations to time domain, first replace A with ωt , and then scale for angular velocity as follows: multiply x ′ {\displaystyle x'} by ...
