Question 1: What is the main purpose of an engine?
- To convert fuel into energy
- To generate electricity
- To pump air
- To cool the car
A. To convert fuel into energy
Question 2: What are the four main parts of an engine?
- Cylinder, piston, crankshaft, camshaft
- Cylinder, spark plug, valve, piston
- Cylinder, head, block, oil pan
- Cylinder, crankshaft, camshaft, oil pump
A. Cylinder, piston, crankshaft, camshaft
Question 3: What is the difference between a two-stroke and a four-stroke engine?
- Two-stroke engines have two pistons per cylinder, while four-stroke engines have one piston per cylinder
- Two-stroke engines complete one cycle in two strokes, while four-stroke engines complete one cycle in four strokes
- Two-stroke engines are more powerful than four-stroke engines
- Two-stroke engines are more fuel-efficient than four-stroke engines
B. Two-stroke engines complete one cycle in two strokes, while four-stroke engines complete one cycle in four strokes
Question 4: What is the function of a piston?
- To compress the air-fuel mixture
- To create a vacuum in the cylinder
- To open and close the valves
- To lubricate the engine
A. To compress the air-fuel mixture
Question 5: What is the function of a crankshaft?
- To convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion
- To open and close the valves
- To pump oil through the engine
- To cool the engine
A. To convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion
Question 6: What is the function of a camshaft?
- To open and close the valves
- To convert the rotary motion of the crankshaft into reciprocating motion of the piston
- To pump oil through the engine
- To cool the engine
A. To open and close the valves
Question 7: What is the difference between a naturally aspirated engine and a turbocharged engine?
- Naturally aspirated engines use only the air that is drawn into the cylinders by the pistons, while turbocharged engines use a turbocharger to force more air into the cylinders
- Naturally aspirated engines are more powerful than turbocharged engines
- Naturally aspirated engines are more fuel-efficient than turbocharged engines
- Naturally aspirated engines are quieter than turbocharged engines
A. Naturally aspirated engines use only the air that is drawn into the cylinders by the pistons, while turbocharged engines use a turbocharger to force more air into the cylinders
Question 8: What is the difference between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine?
- Gasoline engines use spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture, while diesel engines use compression to ignite the air-fuel mixture
- Gasoline engines are more powerful than diesel engines
- Gasoline engines are more fuel-efficient than diesel engines
- Gasoline engines are quieter than diesel engines
