Direction: Draw the material that reduces the force of impact in each of the following situations.
1. There is a mechanical failure in the plane. I need to jump off the plane before it crashes. What do I need to land safely??
2. I got a head-on collision with an electrical post. I was not thrown forward towards the windshield. What keeps me from my seat?
3. My car is out of control. There are just two
options to collide with, mango tree or a banana stalk. What will I choose?
4. My car gets a head-on collision, and our cars are both crumpled instead of rebounding. Both of us are not seriously harmed because crumpling increases the time of changing our momentum thus reducing the impact force. What did car manufacturers design into our cars that reduces injury?
