Activity No.2: CUSHION IT!
Direction: Identify the material that reduces the force of impact in each of the following
1. There is a mechanical failure in the plane. I need to jump off the plane before it crashes.
What do I need to land safely??
2. I got a head-on collision with an electrical post. I was not thrown forward towards the
windshield. What keeps me from my seat?
3. My car is out of control. There are just two options to collide with, mango tree or a
banana stalk. What will I choose?
4. My car gets a head-on collision, and our cars are both crumpled instead of rebounding.
Both of us are not seriously harmed because crumpling increases the time of
changing our momentum thus reducing the impact force. What did car manufacturers
design into our cars that reduces injury?
5. My car accidentally hit the motorcycle that was trying to overtake me. The driver was
knocked over along with his motorcycle. What did he use to avoid serious head
injury?
