3. The inlet tube and the outlet tube are open or closed by the piston
moving up and down.
Upward stroke
Downward stroke
1. When the piston reaches the top of the cylinder, a spark fired by the
spark plug ignites the petrol-air mixture in the upper part of the
cylinder.
2. The force of the expanding gases pushes the piston down, opening
the outlet tube and allowing the exhaust gases to escape.
3. The piston closes the inlet tube as it is moving down and forces
petrol-air mixture into the upper part of the cylinder through a transfer
passage.
Relationship between Operation of the engine and motion of the Vehicle
2. The large gear turns more slowly but exerts a greater force.
Speed = kelajuan
Velocity = halaju
Acceleration = pecutan
Inertia
What is Inertia?
(c) Trains, cars, aeroplanes and ships which are moving cannot
stop at once when the brakes are applied or the engines are
switched off. They continue to move for some distance before
stopping because of their moving inertia.
Relations between Mass and Inertia
1. The tin with the bigger mass (tin filled with sand) requires a larger
force to make it swing or to stop it from swinging.
2. This shows a body with a large mass has more inertia than a body
with a small mass.
Safety Measures Used in Vehicles to Reduce the Negative
Effects of Inertia
1. Pascal’s Principle
The pressure exerted on a liquid in an enclosed container
is transmitted equally through the liquid in all directions.
2. The engine turns the fans which produce the cushion of air
to lift the hovercraft from the sea.
