Seatbelts are designed to restrain passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision. They work by spreading the force of impact across the stronger parts of the body, such as the chest and pelvis, reducing the risk of injury. Seatbelts also help to prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle in a crash.

What is effect of interchanging the galvanometer and driver cell in meter bridge?

Interchanging the galvanometer and driver cell in a meter bridge would reverse the deflection of the galvanometer. The direction of current through the bridge wire would also change, affecting the balance point. The new balance point will now represent a different ratio of the unknown resistance to the known resistance.


Does the Close Door on elevators actually work?

In most elevators, the Close Door button is actually disabled or set to a timer to prevent passengers from overriding safety mechanisms and ensure safe operation. It may give the illusion of control, but it usually does not have any effect on speeding up door closure.

Why the skier moves but Earth does not seem to?

It is because the skier (when stationary) is moving at the same speed as the Earth's rotation. The same effect is felt by passengers on a bus. When the bus suddenly starts off, the passengers are thrust back into their seats. When the bus suddenly stops, the passengers are thrust forwards in their seats. But, for most of the journey, when the bus is travelling at a steady speed, the passengers can relax in their seats and enjoy the journey.
