Is it true that airbags will deploy in a head on collision but not in a collision from an angle?

True


Will the Airbags will deploy no matter from what angle your car is hit?

yes


Will airbags deploy no matter from what angle your car is hit?

true


Are all collisions effective?

no certainly not, the collision is effective is the collision occur with adequate energy and at proper angle ( also known as collision theory).


What is the angle of reflection 20 degrees from the surface?

The key is to recognize that "the angle of INCIDENCE is equal to the angle of REFLECTION", for an 'Elastic' collision. So the answer is 20 degrees.


Relation between relaxation time and mean collision time?

Relaxation time= mean collision time/(1-) where A is the average angle of scattering that the electron makes with its initial direction


If an asteroid or comet were on a collision course for earth what factors would determine how dangerous the collision might be for your community?

The size, speed, location and angle of impact of the object with the Earth. A major factor would be if the impact is on water or land.


What happens when two objects with the same mass colide?

It depends on whether the collision is elastic or inelastic. Most collisions are a combination. The ideal elastic collision would have the two objects bouncing off of each other at the same speed that they started with, but with opposite directions, depending on angle of incidence. The ideal inelastic collision would be as if the two objects stuck to each other - the resultant velocity in the case would be zero, depending on angle of incidence.


How do air bags protect us in collisions?

When the crash sensor in the car detects a collision, it sends a signal to the control module which deploys the airbag. There are various types of crash sensors, like the older ones which were placed in the front of the car (in the crash zone area), and the latest micromachined accelerometers that are installed inside the control module or the airbag brain. The micromachined accelerometers actually measure the speed and severity of the collision. There are also sensors placed in the doors, for deploying the side airbags. The front and the side sensors only work with the front and the side airbags, respectively. An airbag installed in the dashboard or in the steering wheel will only be deployed, if there is a front-end collision, such as in the case of a head-on collision or within 30 degrees from any side from the core of the car. The same rule applies to airbags installed at the sides of the car. The airbag is deployed when the car is hit at a certain angle. The ones on the left won't deploy, if the collision is on the right side and vice versa. The control module or the airbag brain is a small computer that receives data of the crash from different sensors, and then decides which airbag is to be deployed. It is unable to deploy an airbag, if it receives only one pulse. It would need two or more pulses from the sensors to do so. The second pulse comes from the arming sensor that is located inside the car, which senses a sudden decrease in speed. When the control module is certain about a severe crash, it signals the squib inflater, also known as the igniter, which is an electrical device that has a thin bridge wire. As the current flows through the wire, it overheats, and ignites the airbag propellant which is made of sodium azide. Sodium azide is a fast-burning fuel that produces large amounts of nitrogen gas, which goes through filters and fills the nylon airbags. After your head hits the nitrogen-filled bag, the bag deflates by releasing the gas through tiny holes. The cloud of smoke that fills the vehicle, is actually talcum powder or cornstarch. The powder prevents the bag from sticking to itself, while it's folded inside. The nitrogen gas that is released from the tiny holes is absolutely harmless (nitrogen actually constitutes 78% of the air that we inhale). One just needs to open the doors or windows for the gas and the powder to escape. The side airbag system differs from the one in the front. It uses a stored-gas inflater which consists of a cylinder that incorporates 3000-4000 psi of compressed argon gas. The control module signals the igniter, which melts a tiny bladder inside the cylinder. The argon gas then fills the airbag and helps inflate it. Like nitrogen, argon is also harmless.


How do you reeplacement sleeperairbag for Volvo 780?

Get a bottle jack and piece of 90 degree angle iron. Place the angle iron under the sleeper, push against that with the bottle jack. Once you remove the air lines and the retainers, unscrew the airbags counterclockwise, and they should come right out.


Will a cat live if it is hit by a car at 30?

I presume you mean '30 mph'. That depends on the angle at which the car hits the cat. Some cats might survive such a collision.
