Physics I paper Eric Pevehouse, GPISP97, 10-26-00 I believe that the rationale of Robert E. Resh’s article is quite simple: He tries to establish the brief history of air bags in his audience’s minds. He commences his paper with the concept of an “old school” air bag. Resh enlightens us that the notion of air cushions first came about during World War II as an “inflatable crash landing device for airplanes.” He …showed first 75 words of 347 total…

Also, even though air bags saved approximately 600 lives in 1995, engineers are still developing more efficient air bags with smaller inflators that can be recycled and possibly use different gases for the inflating reaction—air bags are continually being improved. Which is to say, more saved lives. Work Cited Resh, R.E., (1996). Air bags. Scientific American, v. 274(2), 116. - I obtained the article from the library
