Front airbags reduce driver fatalities in frontal crashes by 29% and fatalities of front-seat passengers age 13 and older by 32%

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.

Like a safety belt, an air bag provides a force to stop a passenger's motion during a car crash. Which best describes how safety belts and air bags protect passengers?Multiple choice question.Both decrease the overall colliding mass, resulting in a smaller force on the passenger.Both increase the time it takes to slow a passenger down, resulting in a smaller force on the passenger.Both decrease the time it takes to slow a passenger down, resulting in a smaller force on the passenger.Both increase the overall colliding mass, resulting in a smaller force on the passenger.
