An air bag is safetly device. It protect the life of the driver in case of a traffic accident. Under normal condition, the air bag is stored in the steering wheel. When the car crashes, the air bag inflates to cushion the driver against the impact of the crash. This happen because of a chemical reaction that take place in the air bag. This reaction occur very fast in about 1/4 of a second.

As for the wheelbase it means the length between the front wheel and the rear wheel.

Torque is part of the basic specification of an engine: the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by its rotational speed. Internal-combustion engines produce useful torque only over a limited range of rotational speeds (typically from around 1,000–6,000 rpm for a small car). The varying torque output over that range can be measured with a dynamometer, and shown as a torque curve. The peak of that torque curve usually occurs somewhat below the overall power peak. The torque peak cannot, by definition, appear at higher rpm than the power peak.

Understanding the relationship between torque, power and engine speed is vital in automotive engineering, concerned as it is with transmitting power from the engine through the drive train to the wheels. Typically power is a function of torque and engine speed. The gearing of the drive train must be chosen appropriately to make the most of the motor's torque characteristics.

Steam engines and electric motors tend to produce maximum torque close to zero rpm, with the torque diminishing as rotational speed rises (due to increasing friction and other constraints). Therefore, these types of engines usually have quite different types of drivetrains from internal combustion engines.

Torque is also the easiest way to explain mechanical advantage in just about every simple machine.

Cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating engine, the space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a bank, or engine block, which is typically cast from aluminum or iron before precision features are machined into it. The cylinders may then be lined with sleeves or liners of some harder metal, or given a wear-resistant coating such as Nikasil. Ceramic linings have also been tried, so far unsuccessfully, except with low-speed "oilless" steam engines.[1] A cylinder's displacement, or swept volume, is its cross-sectional area (the square of half the bore times pi ) times the distance the piston travels within the cylinder (the stroke). The engine displacement is the swept volume of one cylinder times the number of cylinders in the engine.

A piston is seated inside each cylinder by several metal piston rings which fit around its outside surface in machined grooves; typically two for compressional sealing and one to seal the oil (In steam engines only compressional sealing rings are used of which there can be from two to five on the piston; a fine vapour of oil is usually maintained suspended in the steam working in the cylinder. The rings make near contact with the hard walls of the liner, riding on a thin layer of lubricating oil which is essential to keep the engine from seizing up. This contact, and the resulting wear, explains the need for the hard lining on the inner surface of the cylinder. The breaking in or running in of an engine is a process whereby tiny irregularities in the metals are encouraged to form congruent grooves. An engine job or rebore is a process in which the cylinders are machined out to a slightly larger diameter, and new sleeves and piston rings installed.

bhp is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower).

I think that cc is a unit for engine capacity

but for the amp I dun know what is it?

Airbag is a safety device that will inflate when you are in a wreck. It will protect you from injury to some degree.

Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear wheels, usually measured in inches on American cars.

Torque is a measurement of an engines twisting ability and is used to help figure out how fast the car will accelerate.

Cylinder is the hole in the engine where the piston moves up and down. Most cars will have either 4 or 6 or 8. Some will have more and some will have less. These three numbers account for most of the automobiles made however. If the cylinders are arranged in a V formation then it will be known as a V6 or a V8 engine.

Bhp is a mesurement of horsepower and is called brake horsepower.

CC is a measurement of an engines volume in the combustion chamber in cubic centimeters (CC's)

Amp is a unit of electrical measurement. It is the amount of current that will flow if you have 1 volt going through 1 ohm of resistance. Current is also known as I, and the formula is
I = E/R ( Ohm's Law) E = voltage and R = resistance.

the airbag is a protective feature of an automobile.... it will automatically expand if you bump to something while driving. the wheelbase is the size of a wheel.. the torque is the force being created by the engine and transferred into the transmissions.. the cylinder is the part of the engine where the burning of fuel takes place.. that acronym bhp is a unit refered to the force being compared to the horses as to the means of power during early civilizations. cc means cubic centimeters, the unit being used in an engine displacement .. amp is an amplifier..

airbag is the bag of air coming when you hit something.
torque is the force that gets you going
the more the cylinder, the faster your car is
bhp is break horsepower, its the force that keeps you going.
cc is centimeter cubic, the size of the engine.
amp has to do with car audio.

Yes but where is the fun in that. That would be called cheating the system. Points don't mean prizes so what is the point in aiming to high. Helping someone out with a query is much more rewarding.
