No, different cars have the airbag sensors positioned in different places and some sensors are more sensitive then others. Some cars only require a hefty kick to the front spoiler to set off the airbags or the Hollywood special of punching the dash board. Electric shorts can all so set them off, I have heard of mechanics dying from accidentally shorting out the airbag wiring when their heads were in a bad position. General rule of thumb is that orange wires are used to distinguish airbag sensor wiring from others but this could differ between makes and models.

What factors do you think will influence whether or not an occupant survives a collision?

If a person is right next to where the automobile was hit, it lessens that person's chance of survivng. If it was a head-on collision, it lessens the whole party's chances. Lastly, the person's shear toughness against pain is a factor. Wearing a seatbelt. securing all loads, functional airbags always improve the chances of survival

The red air bag indicator on control panel is always lit up is this normal?

NO, your airbags are not normal. The light means there is a problem with the SRS. Your airbags may or may not be working. Do not attempt to repair airbags yourself. Serious injury can occur. Take your car to the dealer.

If a 2000 Elantra airbags are deployed and seat belts are locked how do you replace the seatbelts and will the seatbelts work if airbag light is still on?

Replacing the seatbelts involves removing several interior trim panels, unfortunately almost all of them, starting from the front. If the seatbelt will no longer retract, it is non-functioning and needs replacement. Seat belts should ALWAYS be replaced after an accident involving airbag deployment. The airbag light is telling you the dealer or a qualified mechanic needs to do some slightly dangerous work replacing the airbags and the airbag controller.

reflectors, on the lines on the edge of the road, always mean you are facing traffic the wrong way and could have a head-on collision.


What factors do you think may cause there to be a difference between the momentum before and the momentum after the collision?

There is a Law of Conservation of Momentum, which states that total momentum is always conserved. In this case, that means that - assuming no additional bodies are involved - the total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision. It doesn't even matter whether the collision is elastic or not.


The momentum before a collision of three objects is always greater than the momentum after the collision True or false?

False - the thing to remember is that momentum is conserved.
