When the device swivels, and some roll is added, the wheel tends to pitch.

When accelerating or driving uphill, the vehicle's weight shifts rearward, reducing front wheel traction, causing the transmission to automatically send torque to the rear wheels to compensate.

When braking or driving downhill, the vehicle's weight shifts towards the front, reducing rear wheel traction.

When James confronted the woman, she ran to her 2004 silver Mercedes, got behind the wheel, and tried to run over James.

When it is spun up to speed with its axis pointing in some direction, due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, such a wheel will normally maintain its original orientation to a fixed point in outer space ( not to a fixed point on Earth ).

When rotated clockwise the wheel pushes a collar against a series of friction washers bearing on the main driving gear.

When used in extended range electric vehicles the static efficiency drawback is irrelevant, since the gas turbine can be run at or near maximum power, driving an alternator to produce electricity either for the wheel motors, or for the batteries, as appropriate to speed and battery state.

When the brakes are applied, brake fluid is forced under pressure from the master cylinder into the wheel cylinder, which in turn pushes the brake shoes into contact with the machined surface on the inside of the drum.

When Blumenschein returned three days later with the repaired wheel, they continued to Taos, where they sold their horse and equipage, set up a studio and began to paint.

When the brake pedal of a modern vehicle with hydraulic brakes is pushed, ultimately a piston pushes the brake pad against the brake disc which slows the wheel down.

When the spindle and flyer are located above the wheel, rather than off to one side, the wheel is said to be a castle wheel.

When the disk undergoes a full clockwise revolution, the bicycle wheel will not return to its original position, but will have undergone a net rotation of.

When the middle horizontal wheel has made 1 revolution, the carriage will have gone 1 li and the wooden figure in the lower story will strike the drum.

When the upper horizontal wheel has made 1 revolution, the carriage will have gone 10 li and the figure in the upper storey will strike the bell.

When John L. Caskey of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens outlined the results of his excavations at Lerna from 1952 up until 1958, he stated that the hallmarks of Middle Helladic culture ( i. e. Gray Minyan ware and the fast potter's wheel ) may have originated from Early Helladic III.

* When the front wheel is deflected up over a bump, the front pull rod compresses the front spring inside the cylinder, against the front of the cylinder.

When the rear wheel meets that bump a moment later, it does the same in reverse, keeping the car level front to rear.

When one was located, a lamp would light up on the Selector Engagement Zone ( SEZ ), a box containing 32 orange lamps arranged in a circle about the size of an automobile steering wheel.

When " tripped ", it locks up solidly ( typically in a few to tens of milliseconds ) and rotates the driven member just one full turn.

When the trajectory r ( t ) rotates an amount dθ, u < sub > ρ </ sub >, which points in the same direction as r ( t ), also rotates by dθ.

When protecting the body, the boxer rotates the hips and lets incoming punches " roll " off the guard.

When descending a tree headfirst, the red panda rotates its ankle to control its descent, one of the few climbing species to do so.

When a body rotates while subject to tidal forces, internal friction results in the gradual dissipation of its rotational kinetic energy as heat.

When an electric current is applied, the galvanometer's indicator rotates and compresses a small spring.

When an object rotates about its axis, the motion cannot simply be analyzed as a particle, since in circular motion it undergoes a changing velocity and acceleration at any time ( t ).

When reading, the magnetized material rotates past the heads, the ferrite core concentrates the field, and a current is generated in the coil.

When the shutter release is pressed, a light-blocking shield lifts and the shutter disc rotates a full turn exposing the film through its open sector ; when the pressure is released the light-blocking shield returns to its position behind the lens, and the spring motor advances the film and recocks the shutter.

When the solenoid is activated, the core is drawn into the coil, and the disk rotates on the ball bearings in the grooves as it moves towards the coil body.

When power is removed, a spring on the disk rotates it back to its starting position, also pulling the core out of the coil.

When a disc is selected to be played, the carousel rotates so that the disc can be picked up by a pickup mechanism and placed in CD playback unit.

When a fluid rotates and viscous forces are balanced by the Coriolis effect ( rather than convective inertia ), an Ekman layer forms.

When it is turned on, it rotates and blows the soot off the tubes and out through the stack.

When an archerfish selects its prey, it rotates its eye so that the image of the prey falls on a particular portion of the eye in the ventral temporal periphery of the retina and its lips just break the surface, squirting a jet of water at its victim.

When reading data from a conventional electromechanical hard disk drive, the disk controller must first position the head, relatively slowly, to the track where a given fragment resides, and then wait while the disk platter rotates until the fragment reaches the head.

When acting alone it rotates to the opposite side ( contralaterally ) and slightly ( laterally ) flexes to the same side.

When the head rotates about any axis ( horizontal, vertical, or torsional ) distant visual images are stabilized by rotating the eyes about the same axis, but in the opposite direction.

When a patient is positioned for a radiographic image attempting to demonstrate Coxa Vara it is important that the technician insures that the patient medially rotates the foot 15 ° on the ipsilateral side ( same side ) being depicted in the film.

When a molecule rotates, the centrifugal force pulls the atoms apart.

When the disk rotates through one complete revolution about a vertical axis, the wire unavoidably acquires a full twist.

When the board rotates more than 90 degrees and then returns to its original position over the course of the slide it is called a pendulum.

When the center of mass is placed in geostationary orbit then the cable rotates once per day with the Earth, and is usually referred to as a space elevator.
