Why are airbags designed to deflate rapidly?
An airbag works by increasing the time it takes to reduce the drivers momentum; they are thus actually designed to deflate slowly (in relative terms). A longer change means a lower impulse, and therefore less force acting on the person. This lowers the risk of a serious blunt-force injury and is why an airbag is safer.
How do you reduce the force of a lever?
The force a lever can apply to a given point greatly depends on two distances:The distance from the pivot point to the object to be lifted and the distance from the pivot point to the point on the lever where force will be applied.To reduce the distance from the pivot-point to the point where Force is applied is to reduce the "force" of a lever.
What does not reduce the amount of work that has to be done?
A force machine does not reduce the amount of work that has to be done
What happens to distance when a simple machine helps reduce force?
Spring is a simple machine. When the driver takes the car in Des spring force to reduce the car's body.
How do you reduce the gravitational force of a room?
There is no way to block gravity.
In terms of impulse and momentum why do airbags in cars reduce the chances of injury in accidents?
Air bags increase the time the force is applied and decrease the force, so the result is a lesser force for a longer duration.
What does airbags do?
Decreases the force of a collision
Why do airbags protect you in a crash?
They absorb energy to reduce injuries.
What percent do airbags reduce the risk of dying in a frontal crash?
About 94%
Do the airbags deploy if hit from behind?
No , not unless you crash into something in front of you afterwards with enough force for the airbags to inflate
Why do airbags in cars reduce the chances of injury in accidents?
Airbags prevent excessive forward movement in a front-end crash, therefore, reducing injuries.
What is the purpose of having airbags in your car?
To reduce injuries resulting from an accident.
What percent do airbags reduce the risk of dying?
34% while there are ardvaarks inside the car.
Why are there airbags in the sides of cars?
Side impact airbags are there to reduce injuries to the head, neck and torso. Like front airbags they deploy instantly on impact. Side airbags deploy from the roof, door panels and seats. Furthermore, like front airbags the side airbags have reduced limb and torso injuries significantly and because of there safety record most new cars are now equipped with side airbags as standard equipment.
How fast must a car hit you to deploy the airbags in a 1994 mercury sable?
The force of the collision , with the front of your vehicle , has to be great enough for the airbags to deploy
What speed do airbags deploy on a Lincoln LS?
The force of the collision has to be great enough
What speed do airbags deploy when you hit a truck for 1997 Mercury Tracer?
The force of the crash must be high enough for the crash sensors to inflate the airbags ( SRS )
