Motion Have you ever wondered a soccer ball continues to move long after your foot has lost contact? Or why you can coast downhill on a bicycle but going uphill you have to pedal to get to the top? Or maybe you’ve asked, why do we use seatbelts and airbags in cars? All of these seemingly complex questions can be explained by three simple rules called Newton’s Laws. For most, Newton’s Laws call up some hazy memory from childhood. You may have instantly remembered “An object in motion will stay…

off the road. Replying, she types, “Almo-”. The text doesn’t send. The car smashes violently into another car with such high power which causes both cars to skid off the highway forcefully slamming into the brick wall standing high off the ground. Airbags pop out in both cars, but it’s too late, the drivers and passengers lie there, asleep, forever. Cell phone use while driving causes around 1.6 million crashes each year. About 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting…

Cars should have breathalyzers that are used to start the car in order to prevent drunk driving. It would cut down the number of drunk driving related accidents. They are starting to become just as necessary as seatbelts and airbags in terms of keeping people safe on the road. The benefits of having cars equipped with breathalyzers include safety on the road and cutting down on the number of DUI’s which would in turn keep the number of people in prisons to a lower count. Each day, around thirty…

Henderson’s PCO2 is elevated. Under normal conditions, what would be the PRIMARY mechanism that his body would use to reduce the amount of PCO2 in the blood? Why is this mechanism not working in this case? Primary mechanism Mr. Henderson should use to reduce the amount of pCO2 in his blood would be to take fast deep breathes.

are not able to limit intrusion into the vehicle caused by the striking car. As a result, drivers involved in side impact crashes have twice as high fatality risk as drivers involved in frontal impact. While the auto industries have introduced side airbags in an attempt to minimize injuries and fatalities from side…

I, on the other hand, had lots of cuts all over my hands and my head as it hit the windshield pretty hard. I tried to get out of the car but the door was jammed and I had to…

only one of the many ways in which scientists continue to use Newton’s Laws of Motion. Airbags were created on Newton’s Third Law that, “every action is an interaction.” (Zimba 2009, p. 283) When someone is involved in a car accident, an airbag ensures that the person is not hit with the full force of his or her body hitting the windshield. Instead, the body in motion is de-accelerated as it crashes into the airbag. This slowing down of motion helps to cushion the person’s impact and ultimately…
