Q

What is a Newton’s first law

A

It is that a resultant force I needed to make something to start moving speed up or slow down.

If the resultant force on a stationary object is zero, the object will remain stationary. If the resultant force on a moving object and zero, it’ll just carry on moving at the same velocity

Q

Why can large deceleration be dangerous?

A

As they can can cause serious injuries
Using collisions zones which reduces force. Crumple zones are at the front and back of the Vehicle which crumple in a collision
