Gases from combustion are pushed out through the exhaust valve as the piston travels up the cylinder to top dead center. This describes which engine stroke?

67% Answer Correctly

intake

power

compression

exhaust


Solution

During the exhaust stroke, just before the piston reaches bottom dead center the exhaust valve opens. The resulting gases from combustion are then pushed out through the exhaust valve as the piston travels up the cylinder to top dead center, completing stroke four of the four-stroke piston cycle.

4

Which of the following is not a function of a car battery?

50% Answer Correctly

acts as a supplemental source of energy to moderate engine performance

acts as an electrical reservoir for excessive current

delivers supplemental current when the alternator can't handle high electrical system loads

delivers current to the ignition system to start the engine


Solution

The lead-acid battery is the core of the electrical system, providing current to the ignition system to start the engine as well as delivering supplemental current when the alternator can't handle high electrical system loads and acting as an electrical reservoir for excessive current.


5

The right front wheel of your front-wheel drive car drops into a pothole and the left front wheel doesn't lose contact with the road. Which of the following is true?

75% Answer Correctly

your car has a rigid axle rear suspension

your car has an independent front suspension

your car has a rigid axle front suspension

your car has an independent rear suspension


Solution

An independent suspension allows the wheels on either side of an axle to move independently from each other. The fact that the left front wheel didn't move up in response to the right front wheel moving down is evidence of this.
