An engine brake, also known as a compression brake or Jake brake, is a system in a vehicle that helps slow down the vehicle by using the engine's compression to create resistance. When activated, the engine brake closes off the engine's intake valves, which restricts the flow of air into the cylinders. This causes the engine to work against itself, slowing down the vehicle without using the vehicle's brakes.

Does the engine work harder at low rpm or high rpm?
This will depend on what the "work" is. Example, if the vehicle is in neutral gear, on low rpm idling of course the engine is doing less work. But when the accelerator is pressed to rev up, then the engine is doing more work. Another example, cruising on a flat highway at high speed but engine's rpm is low when at top gear, hence engine is doing average work. But let the vehicle go up an incline and speed goes slow and the engine's rev goes high when on first gear, hence the engine is doing a lot of work.
What causes a vehicle to not accelerate as quickly in the mountains?

When you are on break and away from your vehicle you must?

Always be aware of your surroundings as you step away.
