Structure of Cars, Trucks, and Cycles

Cars

Cars are typically four-wheeled motor vehicles that are designed to transport passengers. They have a
chassis, which is the frame of the car, and a body, which is the outer shell of the car. The car's engine is
located in the front or rear of the car, and it powers the wheels through a transmission. Cars also have a
suspension system, which helps to absorb bumps and vibrations from the road.

Trucks

Trucks are typically larger than cars and are designed to transport goods. They have a chassis, which is
the frame of the truck, and a body, which is the outer shell of the truck. The truck's engine is located in
the front of the truck, and it powers the wheels through a transmission. Trucks also have a suspension
system, which helps to absorb bumps and vibrations from the road.

Cycles

Cycles are two-wheeled vehicles that are powered by human power. They have a frame, which is the
main part of the cycle, and two wheels. The rider sits on the frame and pedals to move the cycle
forward. Cycles also have handlebars, which the rider uses to steer the cycle, and brakes, which the rider
uses to stop the cycle.

How Cars, Trucks, and Cycles Work

Cars

Cars work by using an internal combustion engine to convert fuel into energy. The energy from the
engine is then used to power the wheels, which causes the car to move. Cars also have a transmission,
which is used to change the speed and torque of the engine.

Trucks

Trucks work in the same way as cars, but they typically have a more powerful engine and a heavier
suspension system. Trucks are also designed to carry more weight than cars.

Cycles

Cycles work by using human power to move the wheels. The rider sits on the frame and pedals to move
the cycle forward. Cycles also have handlebars, which the rider uses to steer the cycle, and brakes, which
the rider uses to stop the cycle.

Fuel Used in Cars, Trucks, and Cycles

Cars

Cars typically use gasoline as fuel. Gasoline is a type of petroleum that is refined from crude oil. Gasoline
is a combustible liquid that burns to produce energy.

Trucks
Trucks typically use diesel fuel as fuel. Diesel fuel is a type of petroleum that is also refined from crude
oil. Diesel fuel is a heavier and more oily liquid than gasoline.

Cycles

Cycles do not use fuel. They are powered by human power.

Waste Generated by Cars, Trucks, and Cycles

Cars

Cars generate a number of types of waste, including:

• Tailpipe emissions: Cars emit a number of pollutants into the air, including carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons.

• Tire wear: Tires wear down over time and release small particles of rubber into the environment.

• Oil and other fluids: Cars leak oil and other fluids into the environment, which can contaminate
soil and water.

Trucks

Trucks generate similar types of waste to cars, but they typically emit more pollutants and use more fuel.

Cycles

Cycles do not generate any emissions or waste.
