Explain, in terms of impulse and momentum, how airbags help avoid injury in a car crash?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

airbags work like a air suspension, When collision occurs the body experiencing the force will gain a large momentum in shory interval of time hence large impulse will be there.

If such high momentum body comes in contact of a hard surface like the car dash-board all the momentum becomes zero in very short interval of time, resulting in high force on the body thus causes injuries.

The air bags reduces this time upon collision hence minimal force is exerted. Thus reducing the injuries.

Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

v = $\sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$ x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
