Airbags reduce the impact on passengers during an auto accident by deploying quickly and creating a cushioning effect that slows down the passengers more gently, absorbing some of the force of the impact.

To reduce the force of impact you could?

To reduce the force of impact, you could increase the duration of impact by deploying safety features like airbags or cushioning materials, decrease the speed of impact by slowing down or braking, and increase the distance over which the impact occurs by crumple zones in vehicles to absorb energy.

This is called "rubbernecking delay."


What is the importance of newtons laws of motion to road safety?

Slowing (negative acceleration) to stop, or slow to keep out of an accident. Forces to change direction, particularly on slick roads.


How does a crumple zone reduce injuries in a crash?

A crumple zone is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy generated during a collision, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the occupants of the vehicle. By intentionally deforming upon impact, these zones extend the time over which the crash occurs, slowing the deceleration experienced by passengers. This design helps to minimize injuries by lowering the risk of severe impact forces on the body. Overall, crumple zones enhance vehicle safety by improving the effectiveness of seatbelts and airbags.


Is it a at fault accident when the road is Icy and you lost control of your car?

While weather and road conditions are factored towards accident causing, is always the drivers fault when an accident occurs as a result of these conditions. The theory behind this is that every driver must still maintain control of their vehicle, including, if necessary, slowing down or not even driving under these conditions.

Gradually slowing down?

Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.


The term deceleration means?

Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.


When skydiving do you go up after the parachute deploys or is that an illusion?

NO is the answer to that, If you see any videos of skydivers deploying parachutes, that means a cameraman is filming. When the jumper deployes the cameraman carries on falling to clear a path when he deploys. so the illusion is you see the jumper go up, whereas hes actually just slowing down but the camera is still falling :)
