Determine the foil volume (in cubic centimeters) of a 500 𝑉, 960 𝜇𝝹 capacitor required for a buck converter. If the foil has the following specifications: dielectric strength 𝝷𝑆 = 150 𝑉/𝜇𝑚, relative permittivity 𝜀𝑟 = 2.2, vacuum permittivity 𝜀0 = 8.84*10^(−12) , foil width w = 5 cm and thickness 𝑑𝑝 = 0.5 𝑚𝑚. Allow for a voltage overshoot 𝑉𝑂𝑆 = 100 𝑉 on the capacitor.

If a part was added to a vehicle after the CRD deadline, it can be presented to the judges by means of a changelog.

A team may be required to prove that the costs present in the CBOM are in fact accurate, with the use of a receipt.

If a vehicle is presented in the Design event with an important component missing from the drivetrain, it may at the discretion of the judges receive zero points for the event as a penalty.

Which sentence is not true about driver equipment?

A driver must wear fire resistant socks when the car is pushed from the garage to the skidpad area.

Arm restraints must be commercially manufactured

During the Mechanical inspection, a helmet may be impounded due to wear.

Removal of driver equipment during a dynamic event may lead to a disqualification.

A vehicle is moving between two fixed and identical wave sources P1 and P2 which emit waves of the same frequency fs. The vehicle moves at a constant speed UA approaching source P1 and moving away from source P2. The sounds perceived by the driver for t = 0 sec have frequencies f1 and f2 for which it holds that: f1/f2= 8/7 For t = 0 sec the vehicle brakes with a constant deceleration of a = 1,1 g until it stops. Find the braking distance. Given that: g= 9,81 m/s2, U sound = 340 m/s

24.2 m

22.7 m

23.8 m

23.1 m

Select the true sentence

If a team decides to make use of the testing area, the tires used must be the same ones used during all dynamic events with the same weather conditions.

Consider team A which has the fastest time in autocross. Their actual time was 67.32s and they knocked over a cone. If team B had a best corrected elapsed time of 86.65s, they will receive 4.5 points.

Teams must be prepared to transport their equipment from the pits for technical inspection

During a dynamic event with a yellow flag, the driver may only pick up speed after the yellow flag signal stops.
