Question

Page 10- How are systems and subsystems related?

Complete the following table about the subsystems present in vehicles
name of subsystem , components of vehicle involved in this system, responsibilities of this subsystem
Structural: frame and body, Carries the weight of the vehicle, shape and design of vehicle, distributes weight of vehicle

propulsion: ___
Guidance: ___
suspension: ____
control: _____

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Propulsion: engine, transmission, drivetrain; responsible for generating power to move the vehicle forward

Guidance: steering system, tires, wheels; responsible for direction control and steering of the vehicle

Suspension: shocks, struts, springs; responsible for providing a smooth ride and maintaining stability of the vehicle

Control: brakes, accelerator, dashboard controls; responsible for managing speed, stopping, and overall vehicle operation

Answer 2

Page 11- Which component of the structural subsystem- the frame or the body- is responsible for evenly distributing the weight of the vehicle?

Page 12- Explain how combustion occurs in a gas engine.

Test practice- Choose two components from the control subsystem and explain how a failure in each component could make driving a car dangerous. (For example, what might happen if the brakes fail?)

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Page 11- The frame of the structural subsystem is responsible for evenly distributing the weight of the vehicle.

Page 12- Combustion in a gas engine occurs when fuel and air are mixed together in the engine's cylinder and ignited by a spark plug. This combustion process creates a controlled explosion that pushes the piston down, generating power to move the vehicle.

Test practice:
1. Brakes: A failure in the brake system could result in the inability to slow down or stop the vehicle properly. This could lead to accidents, collisions, and potentially serious injuries or fatalities.

2. Accelerator: A failure in the accelerator system could cause the vehicle to suddenly accelerate uncontrollably, leading to loss of control, accidents, and potentially dangerous situations on the road.
