The potential dangers of loose objects in vehicles are strongly associated with Newton’s First Law of Motion‚ inertia. Inertia is when an object in motion tries to stay in motion‚ and an object at rest tries to remain at rest‚ unless the object is acted upon by an outside force. For example‚ say a car is traveling along a straight road. Loose objects in the auto are "acted upon" by the body‚ seats‚ or some other part of the vehicle (whatever is touching a loose object)‚ whenever the whole thing

The Physics behind Car Safety Systems By changing an object’s momentum‚ we are able to move it either faster or slower‚ and eventually to a halt‚ depending on the amount‚ direction‚ and magnitude of the force that acts upon the object. By applying this aspect on a car’s safety systems‚ we are able to either reduce the risks of injuries as the results of a crash‚ or to avoid a crash completely. It is with this principle that seatbelts‚ crumple zones‚ air bags‚ and braking systems‚ among other features

Tomorrow ’s cars may have self-parking cars‚ self-driving cars‚ long-range headlights‚ external airbags‚ learning system‚ connecting cars‚ and driver’s health (Brandon‚G.).

That moment of confusion felt like hours‚ I had no idea what just happened or why my air bags deployed. “Are you okay?!” the woman from the other car asked me worriedly. “What happened?” I replied.

sensing technology available at the birth of the airbag industry. Allen Breed invented the first automobile crash sensor and airbag safety system in 1968; however‚ it took several years to perfect the system (www.inventor.about.com). General Motors was the first manufacturer to offer airbags as an option for 1975 models (www.edmunds.com). In 1986‚ Mercedes Benz was the first company to install airbags in all of its models. In the late 1980s‚ airbags were routinely installed on the driver’s side of
