A. | Moment of inertia |
B. | Velocity |
C. | Acceleration |
D. | Momentum |
Answer» A. Moment of inertia | |
Explanation: A spoke is one of some number of rods radiating from the center of a wheel (the hub where the axle connects), connecting the hub with the round traction surface. Since bicycle and wheelchair wheel spokes are only in tension, flexible and strong materials such as synthetic fibers, are also occasionally used. Metal spokes used in bicycles also increase the moment of inertia. |
