Why do airbags prevent injuries during a car accident?

Air bags inflate in front of the driver/passenger. Instead of hitting a hard object (steering wheel / windscreen / car frame) they instead fall into a bag of air. A hard object will stop them quickly exerting a large force on the body and causing severe injuries. The air bag stops the person over a longer period of time and the force n the body is much less.

On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 of 9.8 m/s², so
g = 9.8/6 = 1.633 m/s²

Launch speed = 35 m/s
Launch angle = 27°  above the horizontal.
Therefore,
The horizontal velocity is
u = 35*cos(27) = 31.1852 m/s
The vertical launch velocity is
v = 35*sin(27) = 15.8897 m/s

Part A
When the ball reaches maximum height, the time requires is given by
0 = v - gt
t = v/g = 15.8897/1.6333 = 9.7286 s
This is one half of the time of flight, which is
2*9.7286 = 19.457 s

Answer: 19.46 s (2 sig. figs)
