- So here are a series of experiments:1. A balloon was held against a wall. When it was released, the balloon fell to the floor. 2. A balloon was rubbed with a piece of wool and again held against a wall. This time, whenthe balloon was released it stuck to the wall. 3. A hole was poked in the bottom of a plastic cup. The cup was filled with water, and thewater was allowed to drain out through the hole in the bottom of the cup. While the water wasrunning out the bottom of the cup, a balloon was held near the stream of water. The watercontinued to fall straight down. 4. The previous demonstration was repeated, except this time the balloon was rubbed withwool before it was held near the stream of water. This time, the stream of water was drawntoward the balloon instead of falling straight down. Please explain all of the above.

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,…arrow_forward
