If I'm using belt and pulley, does the gear reduction formula apply in this case too?
Note: one pulley is 5cm diameter (connected to the motor)
The other is 10 cm diameter (connected to the application)
-
Make sure you measure the diameter of where the belt rides, not the outside diameter of the pully that includes the flange.
-
offcourse it does, only the direction will be different.

What type of belt (v-belt, timing belt, etc)?
Are there high dynamic loads?
I ask because unlike gears, you may need to account for slip.
kennykck, I noticed a lot of gear related questions from you. Building something interesting? :P

I'm using timing belt. High dynamic load? not sure bout that. So account the slip with how many percent?
So... I gets ur attention. ;D I'm doing this stuff

Timing belts won't have slip, so don't worry about that.
However belts stretch, such as if you have a high load, or high dynamic load (high acceleration).
If you are building a robot arm with this, it will reduce the positional accuracy a bit.
