What caused the industrial revolution-?

The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in the mid-1700s. British inventors developed new machines that transformed the textile industry. Samuel Slater was a skilled mechanic in a British textile mill, the spinning wheel by Richard Arkwright and also the rotary machine (which used steam) by Matthew Boulton and James Watt.

What are benefits of constructing canals?

In the UK, coal mine owners built canals to take the coal to the factories springing up due to the Industrial Revolution. The arrival of the steam engine to drive the machinery (cotton spinning and cloth weaving) meant that factories no longer had to be built near running water to drive a water wheel. The canals also carried finished goods from the mills to the markets, or seaports for shipping abroad, all on barges, as the roads were very bad.


What are spinning mills?

A spinning mill was a common workplace during the American Industrial Revolution that proccesses fiber (wool, cotton, flax, etc.) into yarn by the use of mechanized spinning machines. these machines replaced the traditional spinning wheel due to its productivity, being able to spin multiple yarns at once. Some mills are still in operation today, some dating back to the industrial revolution. Fiber artists and farmers can send their wool or fiber to mills for processing, though most is now done overseas.

How does tire size affect vehicle speed?

The larger the tire the faster the vehicle will go for every revolution of the wheel.


How did steam engine change the technology of the time?

The wheel size does affect its speed.


How does the size of wheel affect the car speed and torque?

A smaller wheel will be easier to turn, but will travel less for each revolution. A bigger wheel will be harder to turn, but will go farther with each revolution. Sticking a bigger wheel on a car that hasn't got the power to get it turning properly will make you slower - not faster. Sticking a smaller wheel on a car that's already red lining the tach won't make it faster either.


What impact did the wheel have?

Without it our lives would not be nearly as advanced because it was also the root of the Industrial Revolution. That's all I know, i need the same question answered, but I hope this helps:)


Does wheel size affect speed on remote control cars?

A smaller wheel will be easier to turn, but will travel less for each revolution. A bigger wheel will be harder to turn, but will go farther with each revolution. Sticking a bigger wheel on a car that hasn't got the power to get it turning properly will make it slower - not faster. Sticking a smaller wheel on a car that's already has its engine spinning like crazy won't make it faster either.

How does a different size bicycle affect the speed it can travel with one revolution?

The bigger the wheel, the bigger the circumference. The bigger the circumference, the longer it'll travel in one rotation.
