3. For this Wheatstone Bridge based NTC temperature measurement circuit, which is the lowest voltage measurement (VAB) that is possible to obtain at 60ºC? (NTC B: 3435 +/-1%) Give answer in Volts rounded to two decimal points.

4. The previous season you could recuperate only 27% of your initially stored energy, but this season a big improvement in your drivetrain allows you to recuperate 69% of the initially stored energy.  Knowing that you had 6.3 kWh of energy in your accumulator during the last season, how much energy must your new accumulator have, if you assume, that it’s the same length and speed? Give answer in kWh

5. How much current flows when 99 C passes down a wire in 11 s? Give answer in amps as a whole number.

6. Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

7. The following processes have to be measured by the AMS. (Multiple choice)

8. Which of the following statements regarding the Brake System is false?

9. You want to drive with a Lithium Polymer Cell with 3.2 Ah and weighing 70 g. Which of the following configurations would be allowed by the rules? Hint: Unorm = 3.7 V, Umax = 4.2 V

10. Which statements about the travel of the driving pedal is correct

1. Calculate the cornering speed during Skidpad (you can use the centerline radius in the rules) using following information:

μ_y = 1.4,  m = 240 kg,  c_L = 3.2,  A = 1 m^2,  ρ = 1.1  kg/m^3

It is assumed, that there is no weight transfer and all 4 tires are at the optimal grip level. Answer in m/s rounded to one decimal place.

2. Before the endurance you pump nitorgen in your tires at a temperature of 20°C and 0.7 bar relative pressure. Knowing, that during the endurance the maximal tyre temperature will be around 60°C, what will be the maximal relative pressure of the tyre? Give answer in bar to two decimal places.

3. The Wet Skid Pad World Record was set at FSN2019 by TU Delft. They managed to set a time of 4.901 for the left circle and a time of 5.031 for the right circle. Assume the run was completed perfectly along the center line of the circles. What was their average speed during this record run? Give answer to two decimal places in mph.

4. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of a 4 kg object at 15 m above Earth’s surface with gravitational field strength of 9.81 N/kg. Give answer to three significant figures in J.

5. The previous season you could recuperate only 25% of your initially stored energy, but this season a big improvement in your drivetrain allows you to recuperate 63% of the initially stored energy.  Knowing that you had 9.6 kWh of energy in your accumulator during the last season, how much energy must your new accumulator have, if you assume, that it’s the same length and speed? Give answer in kWh to one decimal place.

6. A water tank under a pressure of p = 117.72 kPa has three pipes connected to it, which are sealed 5 meters below the water surface by three plates with areas A₁, A₂, and A₃.
Task:
Sort the pressures p₁, p₂, and p₃ according to their magnitude.

7. An object is fired vertically upwards from the ground at time t = 0 s in still air at a speed of 8.0 m/s. On the way up, what is the height of the object above the ground when it has a speed of 2.0 m/s. At what time does it reach this height on the way down? Give both answers separated by a comma to one decimal place.

10. In a gas pipe, the gas pressure pG is measured using a U-tube manometer connected at the bottom. Above the meniscus of the measuring liquid (mercury with density ρQ) on the gas side, there is a column of water with height h₂ and density ρW.
Question:
What negative pressure △pU (vacuum) exists in the pipe compared to the external pressure p₀?

Result in Pa, two decimal numbers seperated by a point (exp. 15.3). Do not put the Unit in the field below.
