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,…

a) Boyle's Law states the the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional. Name the three units of the constant of proportionality between pressure and volume in alphabetical order.
b) Charles' Law states that the volume and temperature of a gas are proportional. See image. Name the units of the proportionality constant between pressure and temperature in Charles' Law. Use ^ to indicate superscript. So m would be m^7. Use "deg" for degree.

- Which Statements are True About the Kinetic Molecular Theory? As gas atoms collide, they will slow down over time and eventually stop moving. The kinetic energy of a sample of gas is proportional to the temperature in Kelvin. This means that gas molecules in a sample that is hot will move faster than gas molecules in a sample that is cooler. Pressure is a result of the collisions of gas particles hitting the sides of the container in which they are housed. Gases are assumed to not take up any space relative to size of the container. Gases obey the kinetic molecular theory best at low temperatures. Individual gas molecules may change speeds over time.arrow_forwardConvert 175,000,000 dam3 to km3arrow_forward5.
