Why is a backward facing car seat safer for an infant than a seat that faces forward during a collision or abrupt stop?

Its safer for the seat to be facing backwards, because during a collision or an abrupt stop the infant would not be able to slip out of the car seat, and also so the infant will not choke on the car seat's seat belt. It is also safer to have an infant/child to be sitting in the back seat and not in the front passenger seat until the recommended age.

What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?
Elastic Collision is the collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation.Inelastic collision is a collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and generate heat during collision and possibly stick together.
Why can't the second bounce be as tall as the first bounce?
The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.
What is the difference between an elastic collision and an inelastic collision?
No loss in energy due to collision is for elastic collision. But there will be a loss during collision in case of in-elastic collision. So KE will remain constant before and after collision in case of elastic collision.
How does addition in mass to a car will affect the collision point?
Gravity and mass are a direct modifier and multiplier and can contribute to a stationary collision point after the collision has taken place. The materials the vehicle is made of can also effect the collision point by which materials effect the mass of the moving object during impact.
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.
Why a backward facing car seat is safer for an infant a forward facing car seat during a collision or abrupt stop?
Its safer for the seat to be facing backwards, because during a collision or an abrupt stop the infant would not be able to slip out of the car seat, and also so the infant will not choke on the car seat's seat belt. It is also safer to have an infant/child to be sitting in the back seat and not in the front passenger seat until the recommended age.
How many passes are allowed football forward and backward?
A backward pass is one that does not go forward. Often, the receiver of a backward pass may then pass the ball forward. Once the ball has been passed forward, it may not be passed forward again during the same play.
Did women move forward or backwards in terms of equality with men during the 1950s?
backward
How does the air bag soften to blow?
The air bag absorbs the impact of you moving forward during a collision.
What type of collision causes your head to press against the headrest?
A rear end collision will cause your head to press against the headrest. You might also be pressed forward during this type of collision, but the first movement is against the headrest.
How come the calesa moves forward with the horse?
As the horse exerts greater force, both horse and cart move, accelerating from zero to some velocity. During that acceleration the net forward force on the horse must be greater than the net backward force on the horse. And also, the net forward force on the cart must be greater than the net backward force on the cart. This is from Newton's second law
During the interval of collision is the momentum conserved?
well i know momentum remains same before and after collision... But what about the period during which collision takes place?
When and why did you start to put your clocks forward and backward?
I believe it started with the english, it was to increase the amount of daylight seen in the day, So it didnt get dark so early during summer (or winter? i dunno)
What is transferred during a collision?
momentum
Was Africa backward during 1600?
no it was sideways

During dynamic equilibrium how do forward reaction rate and reverse reaction rate compare?
Equilibrium at this point means that the forward reaction and the backward reaction are taking place at the same rate. The formation of the products and the reactants are at equal rate.
