1

The __________ converts pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure in the brake lines.

60% Answer Correctly

brake knuckle

master cylinder

brake cylinder

brake linkage


Solution

The master (brake) cylinder converts pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure in the brake lines.


2

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:

60% Answer Correctly

engine block

outside air

cylinder heads

thermostat


Solution

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for the engine stroke cycle?

71% Answer Correctly

intake, compression, power, exhaust

compression, intake, power, exhaust

intake, power, compression, exhaust

power, intake, compression, exhaust


Solution

The stroke cycle order is intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, exhaust stroke.


4

The __________ splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.

61% Answer Correctly

transmission linkage

universal joint

master cylinder

transfer case


Solution

The transfer case splits engine power between the front and rear axles of four-wheel drive vehicles.


5

The two major types of vehicle braking systems are:

78% Answer Correctly

disc and shoe

drum and disc

drum and shoe

hydraulic and shoe


Solution

Brakes utlize friction to slow vehicle tires. Drum brakes employ a cast iron drum that roates with the vehicle axle. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake assemblies at the wheels, internal pistons expand and push brake shoes outward into contact with the brake drum slowing the rotation of the axle. More powerful disc brakes operate by pinching a rotating disc betweeen two brake pads and allow for a larger surface area to contact the disc, provide more force, and are more easily cooled.
