I kinda need help on this question because i can't find any article or references and please explain how the 3rd law related to safety devices in cars.

Question:
Access the design and use of injury prevention devices in cars in terms of Newton's laws of motion.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the role of shock absorbers in cars is a good application of Newtons 3rd law.
 
Yes like the seat belt and air bags and safety devices in the car related to Newton's law of motion. thanks you
