Design a safety restraint or device for a motorcycle, 4-wheeler, or go-kart. Designs may be drawn or described. Be sure to explain how your devices protects the driver against collision forces.

Multiple Choice

What is inertia?

• An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by another force

• Movement

• When an object starts to move without an outside force

Cars, trucks, and SUVs use seatbelts as safety devices. Roller coasters use bars. Use Newton’s 1st Law of Motion to explain how the seatbelt or restraint bar help keep you safe in a collision. Be sure to identify forces and velocity.

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for force?

• Force = Distance x Time

• Force = Mass x Acceleration
