There isn't one. Car is simply the shorter version of motor car as opposed to a railway car.

The main difference is a Motor uses electrical magnetism from another source to make it run, such as a blower motor in a car. The alternator does this by being belt driven, as long as there is GASOLINE. Now an engine can run on it's own by means of something non-electrical, such as GASOLINE, steam, diesel fuel etc....Simplified; an engine doesn't need electricity to run, But a motor does...

What is the difference between a hybrid car and a car?

a conventional car has an internal combustion motor which runs on a form of fuel eg. petrol but a hybrid uses a electrical engine and a normal one. the electrical one is powered by a normal engine and the wheels rolling... it only uses it's normal engine sometimes to help it go faster. you will only need to re-fuel it with diesel or petrol depending what car you go for. :) so in short a normal car has one fueled motor and a hybrid has a normal motor and an electrical one making it more fuel efficient


What is a motor mount?

Motor mounts (engine mounts) are used to connect a car engine to the car frame. They are usually made of rubber and metal. The metal portion connects to the engine on one side and to the frame on the other. The rubber is in-between to provide some flexibility (so engine shake doesn't cause the car to shake). Newer cars may use slightly different mounts, however, there purpose is the same. Provide the connection from the engine to the car frame. The number of motor mounts varies from car to car. Hope this helps.
