Moving About General comment: Given that we measure things slightly differently from each other and that our measuring instruments might not be totally accurate, consider all numerical answers derived through measurement as correct if they lie within +1 or –1 of the given answers. For example, if the given answer is 58, then accept 57, 58 and 59 as correct. 1.1.1
Car may slow down (reaches a corner, up a hill, speed bump, pedestrian crossing etc) or speed up (down hill, moving away from stop lights, as it starts etc). In each case the change is caused by the force on the car changing due to some factor like increased friction during braking, gravitational force etc.

An object at rest or moving with constant velocity will remain ar rest or moving with constant velocity while no net (unbalanced) force acts on it.
2.3.2
A car on an icy road will continue with the same speed in the same direction until the wheels stop sliding allowing the road to exert a frictional force on the car through the tyres.

Any object moving with constant speed and turning a corner, for example a geostationary satellite in orbit above Earth.

Force acts towards the centre of curvature of the corner. It is also called a centripetal force.
2.4.1
An unbalanced force from outside the system.
2.4.2
Accelerating.
2.4.3
This idea depends on the convention we choose to make for each situation we deal with. One viewpoint of this is that a positive force acts in the direction of motion of an object causing it to go faster while a negative force acts against the direction of the motion of the object causing it to go more slowly. A positive force could also be considered to be an attractive force (between oppositely charged objects) and a negative force a repulsive force between like charges.
2.5.1
Your diagram should show air resistance acting against the motion, and friction between the tyres and the road acting forwards in the direction of the motion, gravity vertically down and reaction force to gravity perpendicularly up from surface.

If you are travelling more slowly, then your momentum is less, so in the event of a collision, the impulse on you due to the collision will be less, both because you do not have as much momentum to lose and also because the time of the collision will probably be shorter. During a collision, as your inertia causes you to continue to move forwards, the airbag ensures that you lose your momentum slowly, by making the time of collision with the bag much longer than it would be if you hit the windscreen. Therefore, while the impulse will be the same, the force involved will be less. Crumple zones in vehicles are designed to increase the time of the collision and so while the momentum lost (the impulse imparted to the car and you) is the same, the forces involved will be smaller.

Moving About General comment: Given that we measure things slightly differently from each other and that our measuring instruments might not be totally accurate, consider all numerical answers derived through measurement as correct if they lie within +1 or –1 of the given answers. For example, if the given answer is 58, then accept 57, 58 and 59 as correct. 1.1.1
Car may slow down (reaches a corner, up a hill, speed bump, pedestrian crossing etc) or speed up (down hill, moving away from stop lights, as it starts etc). In each case the change is caused by the force on the car changing due to some factor like increased friction during braking, gravitational force etc.

An object at rest or moving with constant velocity will remain ar rest or moving with constant velocity while no net (unbalanced) force acts on it.
2.3.2
A car on an icy road will continue with the same speed in the same direction until the wheels stop sliding allowing the road to exert a frictional force on the car through the tyres.

Any object moving with constant speed and turning a corner, for example a geostationary satellite in orbit above Earth.

Force acts towards the centre of curvature of the corner. It is also called a centripetal force.
2.4.1
An unbalanced force from outside the system.
2.4.2
Accelerating.
2.4.3
This idea depends on the convention we choose to make for each situation we deal with. One viewpoint of this is that a positive force acts in the direction of motion of an object causing it to go faster while a negative force acts against the direction of the motion of the object causing it to go more slowly. A positive force could also be considered to be an attractive force (between oppositely charged objects) and a negative force a repulsive force between like charges.
2.5.1
Your diagram should show air resistance acting against the motion, and friction between the tyres and the road acting forwards in the direction of the motion, gravity vertically down and reaction force to gravity perpendicularly up from surface.

If you are travelling more slowly, then your momentum is less, so in the event of a collision, the impulse on you due to the collision will be less, both because you do not have as much momentum to lose and also because the time of the collision will probably be shorter. During a collision, as your inertia causes you to continue to move forwards, the airbag ensures that you lose your momentum slowly, by making the time of collision with the bag much longer than it would be if you hit the windscreen. Therefore, while the impulse will be the same, the force involved will be less. Crumple zones in vehicles are designed to increase the time of the collision and so while the momentum lost (the impulse imparted to the car and you) is the same, the forces involved will be smaller.
