Question

In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers. Wearing seat belts helps save lives. Describe how Newton’s three laws of motion are used in testing the safety of our automobiles. You are only required to give a written description; however, if you would like, you may draw and label a picture in addition to the paragraph explanation.Please Help ASAP

Answer 1

This relates to the Third Law of Motion because For every Reaction there is always an equal and opposite reaction. For example if a car hits you with a force of P, then you will move in the opposite direction at the force of P. This also relates to Newton's first Law of motion, Inertia. For the Second Law of Motion, if a car is issued into a wreck, fatal or not, the car may not stay in balance. The car could flip over, or it could just spin a bit. It depends on what is happening.

Answer 2

1st Law: every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it, during a crash, the car stops immediately, while the passengers continue to move forward.

2nd Law: force= mass x acceleration. Airbags help to reduce to force, on a crash victim's skull.


3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, when the car hits another, and the recipient of the force pushes back.
