How fast does a vehicle need to be moving for the air bags to deploy?

This is largely a matter of regulations in the target market. However, in the US an airbag should deploy in a head-on collision with a fixed barrier at approximately 14mph, or with a parked car at roughly twice that speed.
Actual deployment is really dependent on acceleration, and in collisions that don't meet these conditions the speed of the vehicle may be significantly different. Further, manufacturers are refining algorithms that control deployment and speed of inflation to account for such factors as seat-belt use, weight of occupant, etc. These will also affect the actual speed at which an airbag deploys.

How fast do you have to drive for your airbag to deploy?
you dont have to be moving at all, you just have to have the key on and get hit in the front with enough force to make the air bags deploy
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
How fast do air bags deploy?
I can't give an exact time, but I believe it is around the 5 nanoseconds mark. An airbag will deploy and start to deflate in less time than it takes to blink your eye

What is the name of a dashboard instrument showing how fast a vehicle is moving?
speedometer
How fast is a vehicle moving with a slow moving vehicle sign on it?
It is moving at a maximum legal speed of 25 mph. However, it could be going slower. Legally, even if the vehicle can exceed 25 mph, it is not supposed to.
How fast does it take for the airbag to deploy?
Airbags typically deploy in milliseconds, within 20 to 50 milliseconds of a collision being detected by the vehicle's sensors. This rapid deployment is crucial in helping to protect occupants during a crash by providing a cushioning barrier between them and the vehicle's interior.

What shows how fast an object is moving and begins with s?
The speedometer shows how fast a vehicle is travelling. It begins with the letter s.
Why it is hard to stop a fast moving heavy vehicle?
well think, because its going very fast and the wight makes it slower to stop fast.
