An advanced occupant-sensing system airbag uses sensors to determine the presence and size of occupants, as well as factors like seatbelt usage and seating position to decide if airbags should be deployed and with what force, reducing the risk of injury from airbag deployment.

Airbags were deployed in the head on collision but not in the collision that occurred from an angle?

Airbags are generally designed to deploy in head-on collisions to protect occupants from frontal impact forces. In side impacts, the deployment of airbags can vary depending on the severity and location of impact, as well as the vehicle's sensors and algorithms that determine airbag deployment. The angle of collision can affect the triggering of airbags, with head-on collisions often resulting in more forceful impacts that necessitate airbag deployment.


Which basic principle of force and motion is important in designing safe car and airbag technology?

inertia


Why are airbags designed to deflate rapidly?

An airbag works by increasing the time it takes to reduce the drivers momentum; they are thus actually designed to deflate slowly (in relative terms). A longer change means a lower impulse, and therefore less force acting on the person. This lowers the risk of a serious blunt-force injury and is why an airbag is safer.


How has the airbag change over time?

Airbags have evolved from simple frontal airbags to multi-stage airbags that deploy based on crash severity. They are now designed to reduce the risk of injury by adjusting deployment force and expanding in stages to cushion occupants. Advanced systems also utilize sensors to detect factors like passenger weight, position, and seat belt usage for improved protection.


Which basic principle of force and motion is important in designing safe cars and airbag technology?

it is actually using newton's 2nd law: Now, F=mv/t; in an air bag it basically increases tsince v and m cannot be controlled. v = velocity, m= mass, t = time. The air bag increases the time of impulse, therefore decreasing the force.

What is the function of an ECU in an airbag system?

The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) in an airbag system monitors various sensors and determines when to deploy the airbags in the event of a collision. It calculates the severity of the impact and triggers the necessary airbags to inflate to protect occupants.


How do you disconnect airbags in a 2002 Chevy Cavalier?

The airbags on a 2002 Chevy Cavalier are disconnected by removing the positive battery cable and pulling the airbag fuse. The wiring harness to the airbag can then be pulled to allow the airbags to be taken out.

Why are airbags important?

airbags are important because if you get in to a crash you can die without an airbag and its also used for cushion when it happens


Hit head on airbags opened so now you want your car fixed but you do NOT want airbags but your horn does not work and the airbag light is on what do you do to fix this?

The best choice is to REPLACE the airbags!The SRS airbag is a safety device which can save your life in case of an accident!


If airbags are deployed in an accident should paramedics be called?

It's not necessary to call paramedics unless someone is injured. Airbag deployment should not be a measure of when to call ems.
