  2. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, it can appear stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the opposite direction from the true rotation ...

    Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant shot with either hand, although his right hand was dominant: due to an injury to the right hand, he was forced to shoot with his left. Paul George , Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter are all noted to be right-handed, but rotates clockwise for dunks, but Carter is able to also spin counterclockwise, as he ...

  4. Wheelspin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelspin

    Wheels can also lose traction when surface conditions reduce available traction such as on snow and ice. As an open differential delivers only enough torque to cause the "weakest" wheel to spin, if one drive wheel is stationary on a low traction surface (mud, ice, etc.), the deliverable torque is limited to the traction available on it.

  5. Left- and right-hand traffic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic

    The terms right- and left-hand drive refer to the position of the driver and the steering wheel in the vehicle and are, in automobiles, the reverse of the terms right- and left-hand traffic. The rule also includes where on the road a vehicle is to be driven, if there is room for more than one vehicle in the one direction, and the side on which ...

  6. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    Propeller walk (also known as propeller effect, wheeling effect, paddle wheel effect, asymmetric thrust, asymmetric blade effect, transverse thrust, prop walk) is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about a vertical axis (also known as yaw motion). The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.

  7. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

    The wheels are fastened to the hub by means of a winged, threaded nut, called a "knock-off" or "spinner." Usually, this will feature right-hand threads on the left side of the vehicle, and left-hand threads (rotate clockwise to remove) on the vehicle's right side so the screw-on spinner would stay tightened as the auto was in forward motion.

    Since the drugs make people less hungry, eating can lose its appeal. And if a person were to overeat while on the medication, they would likely experience unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.

  9. Countersteering - Wikipedia

    The front wheel will then rotate about the steering axis to the left and the tire will generate forces in the contact patch to the left. The machine as a whole steers to the left. Because the forces in the contact patch are at ground level, this pulls the wheels "out from under" the bike to the left and causes it to lean to the right.
