Problem 1 - Describe the difference between Earth fixed and Body fixed coordinate systems. When would you use one and when another?

Problem 2 - Describe the steps to take when solving a dynamics problem (including FBD). Show an example on a motorcycle model (by determining the forces acting on it and finding the W_R and W_F forces).

Problem 3 - Describe (and draw) the SAE convention of coordinate system for vehicles.

Problem 4 - What is the D'Alambert principle and how do we use it in vehicle dynamics? Show an example! Solve the same example with classical mechanics (Newton's second law) and prove that they give the same result.

Problem 5 - Describe what power limited and traction limited acceleration mean. Which of these are more prominent in passenger cars?

Problem 6 - Using analytical expressions show why we need stronger brakes on the front wheels and why rear wheel drive cars accelerate better.

Problem 7 - Explain and support your explanation with technical illustrations what the differences are between open and locked differentials. What practical consequences do these differences have?

Problem 8 - Explain how and why air pressure around the car change between positive and negative values. Take a picture of your (or a) car and manually draw the positive and negative pressure regions based on aerodynamic principles.

Problem 9 - Describe how the broad subject of dynamics is applied to vehicles in vehicle dynamics. What skills does it require to conquer vehicle dynamics topics?

Problem 10 - Describe the elements of the brake system in a car. Compare the disk brakes and drum brakes. Describe the basic working principle of friction based brakes [forces and how they relate to vehicle forces and deceleration].
