**Who knew exploding an airbag in the middle of a field for a physics project could be so fun? In our project, we studied how an airbag reacts when it's not in its home environment, the car! We looked at how much force an airbag explodes with, and if it was on the ground, how high would it go? We also analyzed many other physics aspects of the explosion of an airbag. We found the initial velocity (speed and direction), maximum height, and momentum! Feel free to delve into our project and waltz around the site. We'd love to answer any questions you have about this adventure!

Analysis 1 is the first half of the video, and analysis 2 is the second half. We had to split up our video because the camera was moved during the footage! Oops! But no worries, it works just as well with logger pro. **
