Engine Basics Quiz

What does the engine create?

• Torque and power

• Speed and acceleration

• Fuel efficiency

• Noise and vibration

What transfers the engine's power to the wheels?

• The transmission

• The fuel pump

• The exhaust system

• The radiator

How does the transmission transfer horsepower and torque?

• Using a unique series of gears that implement torque reduction and gear ratios

• By increasing the engine's RPM

• By converting fuel into energy

• By cooling the engine

What needs to be operated first in order for a manual transmission to be operated?

• Flywheel

• Clutch

• Pilot bearing

• Friction disc

Which of the following is NOT a component of the clutch in a manual transmission?

• Flywheel

• Pressure plate housing

• torque converter

• Slave cylinder

Which component is also known as the clutch release bearing?

• Flywheel

• Throwout bearing

• Clutch Fork

• Master cylinder

What is the primary function of a flywheel in a machine?

• To increase the speed of the engine

• To smooth out the delivery of power from a motor to a machine

• To decrease the weight of the machine

• To generate electricity

How does the flywheel help in moderating the speed of the engine?

• By increasing the engine's power

• By storing excess energy for intermittent use

• By reducing the engine's weight

• By generating additional power

What property of the flywheel opposes and moderates fluctuations in the speed of the engine?

• Its weight

• Its inertia

• Its size

• Its shape

What is the primary function of friction discs in friction clutches?

• To reduce the speed of a rotating member

• To transfer energy from one rotating member to another

• To increase the friction between two stationary members

• To cool down the rotating members
