The principle of Air bags in cars are designed on the basis of*Principle of InertiaPrinciple of impulsePrinciple of work - energyPrinciple of Statics

A car traveling at 60 mph (100 km/h) veers off the road and hits a tree. The car immediately comes to a complete stop. Fortunately, the airbag inflates and the driver comes to a stop in the airbag instead of coming to a stop on the steering wheel. Hitting the airbag rather than the steering wheel saves the driver's life because the driver1 pointcarries less force with her before colliding with the airbag than she would have carried with her if there were no airbag.transfers more momentum to the airbag than she would have transferred to the steering wheel.transfers all of her momentum to whatever stops her, but that transfer is slower and involves a smaller force when she hits the airbag.transfers less momentum to the airbag than she would have transferred to the steering wheel.
