Description:

A pin connects the large wheel to the shaft. With the pin removed, only the shaft turns as the assembly moves down the ramp. With the pin in place, the large wheel rotates with the shaft. Most of energy of the system is in the rotational kinetic energy of the large wheel and causes the linear kinetic energy to be smaller and the assembly moves down the ramp at a much slower rate.
