Question

The rod and crankshaft convert the up-and-down motion of the piston into

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is Rotary Motion, I've taken the test

Explanation:

The bottom end of the piston is connected to a rod and crankshaft assembly. When the piston is forced downward in the cylinder, the piston’s downward motion is transferred to the rod and crankshaft. The rod and crankshaft then convert the up-and-down motion of the piston into rotary motion (circular motion).

This conversion of up-and-down motion to rotary motion can be compared to the motion produced by a regular bicycle. When you pedal a bike, the up-and-down motion of your feet on the pedals is converted into circular motion in the rear wheel. The same principle applies to an engine. The up-and-down motion of the piston is converted to circular motion in the crankshaft that can be used to power a piece of equipment.

Answer 2

C. Rotary Motion. Had this on my test just now so am sure its right!
