What are the two types of internal combustion engines and what are the major differences?
There is spark inginited( I.E. gas) and the other is C.I. compression ignition (Diesel), and that is the difference.
Diesel is ignited by the high cylinder pressure of a diesel engine, it is more eff. than a gas engine, because it burn more completely and can be run alot leaner than gas engines.
Gas engines currently available need a spark plug to ignite the fuel/air mixture noramlly running around 14.3 parts air to every 1 part fuel.
Under light throttle diesel can run closer to 40:1+, 4 times less fuel being burned.
Diesel run at a low rpm and with thier more robust construction can last at twice as long. Dodge/Cummins truck owners even have a million mile club( million miles on a stock engine)

What are the major advantages and disadvantages of using petrol in internal combustion engines?
Some of the major advantages of using petrol in an internal combustion engine include: ease of availability of petrol, non-corrosive nature of regular petrol, relative safety of liquefied petrol. Some of the disadvantages of petrol include: enviromental damage of unburned petrol and unrestrained Hydrocarbon emissions, steadily increasing price, petrol is relatively inefficient and production of CO2 even with perfect combustion.
What is the exhaust gas composition of internal combustion engines?
3 major gasses (as checked in an emission test) hydrocarbons, Co. & Nox (oxides of nitrogen) In exhaust gas of diesel engines (at correct fuel mixture) there was 13.8% CO2 (carbon dioxide) and 84.5% N2 (nitrogen).
The major changes of the second Industrial Revolution were in the development of .?
electricity and internal combustion engine
Would the earth be warming quickly if you had not invented and used internal combustion engines for our transportation?
The internal combustion engine has significantly contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels, which accelerates global warming. While other factors, such as deforestation and industrial processes, also play a role, the widespread use of these engines has been a major driver of climate change. Without their use, it's likely that the rate of warming would have been slower, although other sources of emissions would still exist. Ultimately, while the internal combustion engine is a key contributor, it is not the sole cause of the Earth's warming.
The development of the internal combustion engine was responsible for becoming one of the nation's major sources of power?
oil
What caused a major increase in the demand for gasoline in the late 1800s and 1900s?

What are the major differences between V8 and V6 engines?
I beleive that is the number of cylenders which effects the power it can put out.
Which caused a major increase in the demand for gasoline during the late 1800s and early 1900s?
Development of the internal combustion engine

development of the internal combustion engine.
What are the relevance of science to the society?
Without science we would still be living in caves, without a fire. All the major innovations since prehistory are based on science. Fire, electricity, internal combustion engines (cars), cement, plastics, computers, medical treatments etc etc.
What negative impact of the internal-combustion engine?
The internal-combustion engine significantly contributes to air pollution, emitting harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues. Additionally, it plays a major role in climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the reliance on fossil fuels for these engines can lead to resource depletion and geopolitical tensions over oil supply.
