To begin/to start

Difference between to start and to begin:
1) I just don't know where to begin/start
2) He wants to begin/start his own IT company.
3) Can you tell me what time lessons begin/start in the morning?
4) The battery was flat but we managed to begin/start the car by pushing it down the hill.

My answers:
1)start
2)start
3)begin and start
4) start

Can you plz correct my answers and explain to me what is the difference between to begin and to start?

Thanks
