692 - How do vehicles move from one place to another?

Vehicles move by using energy to create movement. Here's a simple explanation:

1. Engine: Most vehicles use an engine, which converts energy from fuel (like gasoline or diesel) into mechanical energy.
2. Wheels and Axles: The engine makes the wheels turn using axles. The wheels spin around, creating motion.
3. Gears and Transmission: Some vehicles have gears and a transmission that help the wheels turn faster or slower, making the vehicle move.
4. Power: When the engine, wheels, and gears work together, they create the power needed to move the vehicle.

Think of it like a bike: when you pedal, you're converting your energy into motion, making the wheels turn. It's similar for vehicles, but instead of pedaling, they use an engine.
