How would I calculate how much energy is transmitted to the rear wheel of a 
bicycle on each gear if I know how many times the wheel rotates, the 
circumference of the wheel, and that for one rotation the bike moves 2 meters? 
For our science fair we asked the following question: What is the effect of 
the gear ratio on the amount of energy transmitted to rear wheel? Our Science 
Fair is in 3 days so please try to answer our question quickly. Thank you.
