Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.69 Collision Design and Safety skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which principle best applies across airbags, helmets, packaging foam, and crash cushions?

AThey work by making the object's initial momentum disappear before impact.

BThey are safer only when they make the stopping time as short as possible.

CThey eliminate the need for energy transfer during a collision.

DThey manage the same required momentum change by increasing stopping time or distance to reduce force.

Solution & Explanation:These devices cannot usually avoid the momentum change required to slow or stop an object. They reduce risk by spreading that change over more time or distance.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the front-end redesign table. The passenger cell must have intrusion below 10 cm, peak force below 60 kN, and crumple distance at least 0.45 m. Which redesign passes?

ARedesign 1

BRedesign 2

CRedesign 3

DRedesign 4

Solution & Explanation:Redesign 3 meets all three constraints. The others fail at least one requirement involving intrusion, peak force, or crumple distance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An airbag increases stopping time from 0.018 s to 0.150 s for the same occupant momentum change. Approximately by what factor is average force reduced?

AAbout 0.12 times

BAbout 8.3 times

CAbout 1.2 times

DAbout 150 times

Solution & Explanation:For a fixed momentum change, force is inversely proportional to time. The time increases by 0.150/0.018 = 8.33, so average force is reduced by about 8.3 times.
