1. What is the functional purpose of an airbag?
The functional purpose of an airbag is to give a cushioned surface for the driver of a vehicle during the time of the collision. On page one, paragraph three, states, “They are designed to supplement seatbelt restraints and help to distribute the load exerted on a human body during an accident.” The airbag helps to absorb and distribute the force of the impact caused by the result of collision. Since the airbag is filled with a gas (N2) it can slow down the forward motion which can prevent someone from creating a sudden collision in the steering wheel with a greater force. It may also prevent the person inside from being thrown from the vehicle during a crash. Thus, the functional purpose of an airbag is to protect the driver from collision with the steering wheel by minimizing the force of impact.
2. While a series of events take place within the airbag system, what ultimately causes the airbag, stored in the steering column,…

- Considering the kinetic molecular theory - An infected tooth forms an abscess (area of infected tissue) that fills with gas. The abscess puts pressure on the nerve of the tooth, causing a toothache. While waiting to see a dentist, the person with the toothache tried to relieve the pain by treating the infected area with heat. Will this treatment help? Why or why not?arrow_forward5) Suppose your car is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and the tire pressure is 34.0 psi on a 98 °F day in California. You decided to take a road trip to Alaska where the temperature drops to 20 °F. As you arrived in Alaska, you noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system alert light is illuminated. Why did this happen?
