Your BSPD has been triggered although the driver did not touch the driving pedal. What could have gone wrong? (multiple choice)

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

Which of the following requirements of the brake light assembly must be met to be rules compliant? (multiple choice)

Which of these HV- and LV-components have to be fire-retardant? (Multiple Choice)

A thin circular, isolated wire made of copper with radius R lies on a table with its ends
connected to a Volt meter. Another, straight wire lies exactly along a diameter of the
circular wire, connected to an alternate current source i(t) = I0 sin(wt).
The experimental setup is shown in the following Figure:

Which effective voltage Ueff does the Volt meter display?
R = 10 cm, maximum current I0 = 1 A, f = 50 Hz.
Give your answer in Volts with three decimal places

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

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

An object is fired vertically upwards from the ground at time t = 0 s in still air at a speed of 9.6 m/s. On the way up, what is the height of the object above the ground when it has a speed of 1.9 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.

A 30 lbs model helicopter flying at 51 mph, calculate its kinetic energy. Answer in J to 3 significant figures.

During last year acceleration a top speed of 100 km/h was reached. Due to big improvements in the new drivetrain, the new vehicle reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. The aerodynamics chief has some worries about the stability of the rear wing bracing due to the higher aerodynamics load. Given the geometry below, by how much % does the bearing force in point A change in comparison to last year? (The aerodynamic package did not change and therefore some values can be assumed for both vehicles). Give answer rounded to one decimal place.
