• Seatbelt -Distributes impact forces all over the body, reduces risk of injury

  Newtons 3rd law
• Airbags - diploids rapidly upon impact and protect against hitting hard surfaces

  Newtons second law
• Headrests - support head and neck against whiplash injuries, newtons third law
• crumple zones - the front of the vehicle designed to deform and absorb kinetic energy during a crash, newtons second law
• crash helmets - reduces risk of head injury, absorb impact forces
• impulse is the rate of change of momentum of an object, measured in joules per second
• momentum = mass x velocity
• lateral forces - Cornering force or side force is the lateral force produced by a vehicle tire during cornering
• centrifugal force - The apparent outward force acting on objects moving along circular paths.
