Acceleration of Airbag Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Acceleration of Airbag = (Final Velocity of Airbag^2-Initial Velocity of Airbag^2)/(2*Distance Traveled by Airbag)
a = (Vf^2-Vi^2)/(2*dt)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Acceleration of Airbag - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration of Airbag is defined as the change in velocity of the air bag from its initial rest position after the frontal impact force on the vehicle.
Final Velocity of Airbag - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Final Velocity of Airbag is defined as the maximum velocity that an airbag achieves due the collision of vehicle.
Initial Velocity of Airbag - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Initial Velocity of Airbag is defined as the velocity of the airbag just at the time when the vehicle collides, and airbag comes into action.
Distance Traveled by Airbag - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by Airbag is defined as the total distance covered by the airbag from its initial position to the steering column after the collision.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Final Velocity of Airbag: 90 Meter per Second --> 90 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Initial Velocity of Airbag: 0.03 Meter per Second --> 0.03 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Distance Traveled by Airbag: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
a = (Vf^2-Vi^2)/(2*dt) --> (90^2-0.03^2)/(2*0.3)
Evaluating ... ...
a = 13499.9985
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
13499.9985 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
13499.9985 13500 Meter per Square Second <-- Acceleration of Airbag

Kinetic Energy after Collision of Vehicles
Go Kinetic Energy after Collision of Vehicles = (Mass of First Vehicle before Collision/(Mass of First Vehicle before Collision+Mass of Second Vehicle before Collision))*Kinetic Energy before Collision of Vehicles
Velocity of Occupant with Respect to Vehicle after Collision
Go Relative Velocity of Occupant after Collision = Initial Velocity before Collision*sqrt(Stopping Distance of Occupant/Stopping Distance of Vehicle)
Magnitude of Resultant Final Velocity after Collision of Two Vehicles
Go Magnitude of Resultant Final Velocity = sqrt(Final Velocity after Collision in X-Direction^2+Final Velocity after Collision in Y-Direction^2)
Direction of Final Velocity of Vehicles after Collision
Go Direction of Final Velocity = atan(Final Velocity after Collision in Y-Direction/Final Velocity after Collision in X-Direction)
Impact Force on Vehicle after Crash
Go Impact Force on Vehicle after Crash = (0.5*Vehicle Mass*Forward Velocity of Vehicle^2)/(Stopping Distance of Vehicle)
Total Momentum in y-Direction before Collision of Two Vehicles
Go Total Momentum in Y-Direction before Collision = Momentum of First Car before Collision in Y-Dir+Momentum of Second Car before Collision in Y-Dir

Acceleration of Airbag Formula

Acceleration of Airbag = (Final Velocity of Airbag^2-Initial Velocity of Airbag^2)/(2*Distance Traveled by Airbag)
a = (Vf^2-Vi^2)/(2*dt)

What is acceleration of airbag?

When the crash sensor in the car detects a collision, it sends a signal to the control module which deploys the airbag. This leads to a chemical reaction inside the airbag which leads to enormous amount of nitrogen to be released which has very high kinetic energy. This leads to the nitrogen gas inflating the airbag and airbag achieves acceleration.

How to Calculate Acceleration of Airbag?

Acceleration of Airbag calculator uses Acceleration of Airbag = (Final Velocity of Airbag^2-Initial Velocity of Airbag^2)/(2*Distance Traveled by Airbag) to calculate the Acceleration of Airbag, The Acceleration of airbag formula is defined as the change in velocity of the air bag from its initial rest position after the frontal impact force on the vehicle. Acceleration of Airbag is denoted by a symbol.

How to calculate Acceleration of Airbag using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Acceleration of Airbag, enter Final Velocity of Airbag (Vf), Initial Velocity of Airbag (Vi) & Distance Traveled by Airbag (dt) and hit the calculate button.
