Why does a bigger sail make the boat go faster than a smaller one?

mainly because of the larger surface area.
the bigger the sail, the more wind pressure on the sail, giving you more power, more momentum, and thus sailing faster.
Hope this helps~

Does the size of a sail increase the speed of a boat?
Yes, because if the sale is bigger it will catch more wind wich will make the boat move faster. If the sale is smaller it will catch less wind and it will go slower.

How do you make a bmx bike ride faster?
Depends on what's keeping it back. If you've got strength left, but can't turn the cranks any faster, get a smaller driver. If you think you could pedal faster but don't have the power, get a bigger driver.

Swap to a bigger rear sprocket or a smaller front sprocket. It'll lose a little top speed but be stronger uphill.

typically you want a a smaller sprocket in back and bigger one in front.. bigger one in back with stock in front will cause quicker acceleration small on back and big in front will cause you more speed but if you put a smaller one in back put a bigger one in front
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.
