How do airbags trigger in a car crash?
Impact sensors
Is it safer too drive a bus or a car?
car because if you crash bus don't have airbags and also a bus can tip over in a crash so the answer is a car
How does the crash worthiness of the car affect the transfer and transformations of the energy and ultimately protect the occupants?
A car with higher crash worthiness can better absorb and disperse energy during a collision, reducing the force felt by occupants. This helps minimize injuries by preventing excessive transfer of energy to the occupants. Features like crumple zones, airbags, and seat belts work together to protect passengers during a crash.
What is the purpose of having airbags in your car?
To reduce injuries resulting from an accident.

Why is sodium azide used in airbags?
Sodium azide is used in airbags because it is a very fast-releasing gas-generating compound. When a car crash occurs, an electrical signal triggers the decomposition of sodium azide, producing nitrogen gas that quickly inflates the airbag to protect the occupants.
What speed do airbags deploy when you hit a truck for 1997 Mercury Tracer?
The force of the crash must be high enough for the crash sensors to inflate the airbags ( SRS )
How has airbags impacted society?
Just as with car seat belts, there was auto producer reluctance about making airbags standards equipment on automobiles. The main complaint for safety measures were that they would hurt the consumer as the price of a new car would of course rise. The other factor with seat belts was that consumers, despite its clear safety benefits, were often not wearing them. Enough so that laws had to be passed to force drivers and passengers to wear them. Once the cost hurdle argument about airbags was done, there of course was no problem about "compliance" as the airbags were an automatic safety device. The installation of airbags has certainly reduced injuries and prevented many deaths when there is a car crash.
Do the airbags deploy if hit from behind?
No , not unless you crash into something in front of you afterwards with enough force for the airbags to inflate
Why are airbags important?
airbags are important because if you get in to a crash you can die without an airbag and its also used for cushion when it happens
