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.

∙ 12y agoWhen an airbag must be deployed, it is for the safety of the passenger or driver in the car. The
air bag acts as the outside force in protecting the passengers or driver from being thrown
through the windshield. The person is in motion until stopped by the airbag. so mainly when an object is at rest it will remain at rest until an outside force acts on it as you see in this example.

Which basic principle of force and motion is important in designing safe car and airbag technology?
inertia
Can air bags kill you?
Yes, they can kill you. If you are too small, the airbag can suffocate you.
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.
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.
What does an air bag do to the acceleration of the person as they land compared to hard ground and how does this change the net force on the person as they land compared to hard ground?
The airbag reduces the deceleration experienced on impact. In terms of acceleration, this means that the airbag has lowered the rate at which the downward acceleration decreases.If a falling person hits solid ground then their velocity goes from high to zero almost instantaneously. This means that the downward acceleration has changed very quickly. The airbag increases the time in which it takes the velocity to fall to zero. This is the same as saying it reduces the deceleration.Of course an airbag has the additional benefit of being soft relative to the ground, but simply considering acceleration/deceleration, reducing this lessens the harm done to the person. A high rate of acceleration/deceleration by itself can cause death/serious injury as a person's internal organs rupture due to the sudden collision with the other parts of the body (bones for instance). An airbag is helping by reducing the rate of change of the downward acceleration to a more survivable level. The force on the person is therefore lowered on "landing".

97-Nissan Altima The airbag light is flashing?
It is important to pay attention to the warning lights in a car. When an airbag light comes on, in any manner, it means there is an issue with the airbag.
How did technology help in the advancement of the airbag?
it helped make the impact stronger and effect more. Also, to make it safer
Why is your airbag light staying on in your 1995 olds delta 88?
It is important to understand the meaning behind the warning lights in a car. The Airbag light being on means that there is an issue with an airbag in the car, or with the horn system in the car.
How do they make cars safe?
safety is a mufti factorial thing that affect all part of designing car from body,airbag,room,windows,windows material,electronic systems
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
Why is it important to were a seat belt even if your vehicle has an airbag?
A airbag can not save you from being thrown into the window or being jerked this way and that way or rolling up side down.
Why is your airbag light on in 2001 Chevrolet impala?
It is important to understand why the warning lights come on. The airbag light will come on in any car if there is an issue with any airbag in the car, an issue with the wiring to or from the air bags, an issue with the horn, or the wiring of the horn.
When were car air bags invented?
Airbag is said to be invented as early as 1950 but its sensing technology birth was known to start in 1968.
Why is an airbag important in reducing injuries from a crash?
Hitting your head on the steering wheel hurts. Because when the car stops, you keep going until something stops you, like the seatbelt, airbag, or windsheld. Buckle up!
