State an equation linking change in momentum, force and time.
Force

Time
=
Change in Momentum
F (delta) t = m (delta) v
What quantity is equal to the force experienced in a collision?
The
rate
of
change
of
momentum.
If an object's change of momentum is fixed, what is the only way to reduce the force that the object experiences?
Increase the length of
time
over which the change of momentum occurs.
Explain how a seatbelt improves a passenger's safety during a collision.
Passenger must
decelerate
from the vehicle's
velocity
at impact to zero, meaning they undergo a fixed change of momentum
The force they experience is
equal
to the rate of change of momentum
Seatbelts
increase
the time over which the force is applied,
reducing
the rate of change of momentum and therefore
reducing
the force experienced
