FA3: Research Question
« on: July 14, 2021, 10:08:09 pm »

Hello.

This is my research question for my research investigation:
How effective are airbags in reducing the risk of fatalities during an angle collision of motor vehicles?

How do I improve, and is it specific enough?

Many Thanks. :)

Hey Jinx_58,
I just saw the post you made the other day, where you RQ at the time was:
For my research investigation, this is my research question:
How effective are airbags in reducing the risk of fatalities during an angle collision of motor vehicles, and to what extent is this consistent according to Newton's second law of motion?
Is there a reason you removed the "and to what extent is this consistent according to Newton's second law of motion?"? I actually think this is a nice addition and gives you more to discuss.

A few just grammatical notes I have are:
  • I would say, "an angled collision between motor vehicles"
  • If you were to keep the second half, I would say, "and to what extent is this consistent with Newton's second law of motion?"

Howdy.

Thank you for the feedback.

My research question has changed, and I removed the Newton's 2nd Law bit because my teacher told me it would be hard to keep under 2000 words.

This is my drafted research question, if you still wish to look at it:
How advantageous are airbags in cars, and technology- powered ones in motorcycles, based on the force absorbed and the impulse that triggers the airbag inflation, in preventing fatalities during a motor vehicle collision?

Many Thanks. :)

Ahh, I see I see. That's fair.

This is my drafted research question, if you still wish to look at it:
How advantageous are airbags in cars, and technology- powered ones in motorcycles, based on the force absorbed and the impulse that triggers the airbag inflation, in preventing fatalities during a motor vehicle collision?

This is pretty good and it seems like it will be an interesting report to write.
Though, I am unsure of what you mean by "technology-powered" airbags in motorcycles. Would it make more sense to say "how advantageous are airbags in cars and motorcycles"?

While, this question is pretty good I'd recommend rearranging it for the sake of comprehension. I'd probably write it something like this:
"When investigating force absorption and the magnitude of impulse required to trigger inflation, how advantageous are airbags in cars, and technology-powered ones in motorcycles, in the prevention of fatalities during motor vehicle collisions?"

Or, removing the "technology-powered" bit:
"When investigating force absorption and the magnitude of impulse required to trigger inflation, how advantageous are airbags in cars and motorcycles, in the prevention of fatalities during motor vehicle collisions?"

Thank you for the feedback. :)

Our ISMG states a "specific and relevant research question", and my teacher said to choose a specific type of motorcycle airbag (there are many, check this interesting vid out if you wanna know more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2jZryt607U&ab_channel=FortNine )

Thanks again :D

Ok awesome! :) The more you know ahaha.
That's very good. If you are able to find data for that then that is fantastic!
