How does an air bag work?
If you run into something, your air bag can inflate in less than a tenth of a second to protect you from the forces of a head-on collision.
How does the air bag soften to blow?
The air bag absorbs the impact of you moving forward during a collision.
Why does a collision with an air bag cause less damage than a collision with a steering wheel?
WHen a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
When a car collision occurs an air bag is inflated protecting the passenger from serious injury How does the air bag soften the blow?
It decreases the impulse of force.
How products are made?
An air bag is an inflatable cushion designed to protect automobile occupants from serious injury in the case of a collision. The air bag is part of an inflatable restraint system, also known as an air cushion restraint system (ACRS) or an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS), because the air bag is designed to supplement the protection offered by seat belts. Seat belts are still needed to hold the occupant securely in place, especially in side impacts, rear impacts, and rollovers. Upon detecting a collision, air bags inflate instantly to cushion the exposed occupant with a big gas-filled pillow.
How many inches of space you need to have between chest and steering wheel?
10 inches is the recommended space. The reason is that in a collision the air bag has sufficient room to expand and properly protect you from major injuries.
What speed does an air bag deploy in a 1998 grand am gt?
The force of the collision has to be great enough
What is the minimum speed for air bag deployment in a ford 500?
The force of the collision has to be great enough
Speed to open the air bag?
It depends on what you crash into , a solid concrete wall with no " give " or another vehicle , the collision has to have enough " force " to require the air bag(s) to inflate
I had accidentwhy the air bag didn't work?
The force of the collision has to be great enough ( assuming that you have no warning light in the dash indicating there is a problem with the air bag system / SRS / Supplemental Restraint System )
What speed does air bag deploy 1997 ford range?
That depends on what you crash into , a solid wall , or another vehicle with some " give " . The force of the collision has to be great enough to deploy the air bag
How does an air bag protect you from dying?
it makes the impact soft-er
