1

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

60% Answer Correctly

brake linkage

brake cylinder

brake knuckle

master cylinder


Solution

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


2

__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.

43% Answer Correctly

preignition

combustion

engine knock

detonation


Solution

Preignition results from the buildup of fuel deposits and/or oil in the combustion chamber. These deposits increase chamber pressure and reduce heat tranfer to the coolant. The trapped heat then raises the temperature of the air-fuel mix to the point that it combusts before ignition.


3

What type of energy does an automotive battery produce?

59% Answer Correctly

alternating current

direct current

chemical energy

rotational energy


Solution

An automotive battery produces direct current for use by automotive systems.


4

Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?

62% Answer Correctly

cools engine parts

clean contaminants

quiets engine noise

increases fuel economy


Solution

The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

delivers current to the ignition system to start the engine

acts as an electrical reservoir for excessive current

acts as a supplemental source of energy to moderate engine performance

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


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.
