Question: A regenerative braking system uses _______ to slow the vehicle during braking.

Answer: An electric motor as a generator

Question: In regenerative braking, the amount of stopping power is controlled by the amount of ________.

Answer: Electricity generated

Question: Tech A states that regenerative braking makes a hybrid vehicle more fuel efficient. Tech B states that the electricity produced during regenerative braking is stored in the hybrid vehicle’s high-voltage battery. Who is correct?

Answer: Both A and B

Question: Tech A says that regenerative braking converts brake heat into electricity. Tech B says that regenerative braking converts electrical energy into braking energy. Who is correct?

Answer: Neither A nor B

Question: ________ braking is technology that allows a vehicle to recapture and store part of the kinetic energy in a reusable form when braking.

Answer: Regenerative

Question: The interaction between the regenerative braking system and the _______ braking system must be carefully designed and serviced so that each operates seamlessly with each other.

Answer: Friction

Question: Technician A says that regenerative braking systems are found on virtually all late model vehicles. Technician B says that a regenerative brake system uses the electric motor as a generator, which slows the vehicle by converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. Who is correct?

Answer: Technician B

Question: Tech A says that regenerative braking takes brake-by-wire technology to the next level. Tech B says that the brake-by-wire system uses the electric motor as a generator, which slows the vehicle by converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. Who is correct?

Answer: Both Techs A and B

Question: Which of these is a simple mechanical system that uses leverage to force a friction block against one or more wheels?

Answer: Scrub brake
