Motion and Forces Task

Use this IDEAL success ladder to help you:

Modern Cars Safety

Modern cars are very good a moving people from place to place in comfort but they are also getting better and better at stopping and keeping people safe if disaster happens and they have a crash. Find out how crumple zones, airbags and seat belts use forces to keep people as safe as possible in the event of a crash and design a poster which explains how these features work in modern cars

I Describe what happens to seatbelts, crumple zones and airbags when a crash happens.

D Draw diagrams which show the size and direction of the forces are acting when a car is speeding up, travelling at a constant speed, slowing down gently and doing an emergency stop.

E Explain how the safety features absorb the energy and forces during a crash and how the stopping distance is affected by the speed of a car

A Identify the factors that affect the stopping distance of a car and explain how they can affect the stopping distance

L Find out how passive and active safety features help to keep modern cars safe.
