Primarily compressed nitrogen as it is unreactive. Nitroguanidine (also used as insecticide and to start high energy reactions) is sometimes used.

What gas inflates the air bags on a car?
There is a small explosive that inflates the airbag. It is not gun powder but its a good way to think of it.
What inflates an airbag?
An impact detector sends an electric signal to an igniter which causes sodium azide (NaN3) to generate nitrogen gas. The air bag is filled by the nitrogen gas.
Which component of the technological system is achieved when an automobile airbag inflates?
process
What is the physics behind the dangers of air bag safety?
the extremely rapid inflation of airbags. not wearing a seatbelt when an airbag inflates. being positioned incorrectly in the seat when an airbag inflates. if this question is for study island the answer is all of the above.
How does a srs airbag work?
The computer has sensors to decide if the impact warrants deploying air bags, if so an electrical current triggers the gas generator that inflates the bag.
How can an airbag save your life?
inflates and prevents your face/head from hitting the steering wheel
What causes the car airbag to come out?
a small electric impact sensor located low on the front end of the car//////wich in turn triggers an explosive gas that inflates the bag
How fast does an airbag move when triggered?
An airbag inflates in less then 0.04 seconds. 5 times faster then a blink (0.2 seconds). If you blink, you'll miss it :)
What is an airbag?
An airbag is a protective system in automobiles, a bag containing nitrogen, which is formed by the explosive decomposition of sodium azide, and quickly inflates in front of the driver or passenger, preventing injury to the head.
How do airbags work?
Well, when a car crashes there is a sensor in the front of the car wich if hit hard enough sends a pulse to another sensor which triggers a tank of nitrogen gas witch inflates the airbag. all this hapens in a split second.
How do you air up balloons with rotten bananas?
The bacteria eats of the banana, that causes a gas. The gas goes into the balloon, and inflates it.
How do you know if a reaction is producing a gas?
Put a balloon over the top of the test tube. If the balloon inflates, it is from the gas that was produced.
