Answer
Answer:
- A. true
- B. false
- B. false
- A. true
Explanation:
Step1: Road - surface impact
The friction between the car's tires and the road surface affects acceleration. A rough or slippery road can change the traction and thus the acceleration, so statement 1 is true.
Step2: Fuel - consumption in acceleration
Quick acceleration requires more power from the engine, which burns more fuel. So accelerating quickly does not save fuel, making statement 2 false.
Step3: Accelerator - pedal control
For best control while accelerating, you should use the ball of your foot on the accelerator pedal, not the heel. So statement 3 is false.
Step4: Speedometer - glance safety
Taking a quick glance at the speedometer while driving is a common and safe practice to monitor speed, so statement 4 is true.
