During a car crash, an airbag inflates to protect the passenger. Compared to a crash where the passenger hits the steering wheel directly, how does the airbag change the time taken for the passenger to come to a stop and the average force exerted on them for the same change in momentum?
Force exerted on passenger is smaller; time taken to stop is smaller
Force exerted on passenger is smaller; time taken to stop is larger
Force exerted on passenger is larger; time taken to stop is smaller
