It disperses the impact and more slowly brings the object in motion (head/body) to a state of rest. By pushing into the airbag and the airbag venting the air, more time is allowed for deceleration. The instant deceleration of striking an object, such as a steering wheel, is usually what causes injury/fatality.
Short answer - dispersing the energy of impact and slowing the rate of deceleration.
The airbag increases the time which in turn decreases the force. This can someone's life.
it is defined as the change in momentum or the product of force and time.
[tex]J = F\times t[/tex]
Where,
[tex]J[/tex]- impulse
[tex]F[/tex] - Force
[tex]t[/tex] - time
So,
[tex]F= \dfrac Jt[/tex]
In the equation, Force is inversely proportional to time.
Therefore, the airbag increases the time which in turn decreases the force. This can someone's life.
