Multiple layers work together to slow impact forces.

This slows impact forces before they reach the head and brain.

If a driver slams on the brakes just before it smashes into a wall, the impact will still occur, but at a slower speed, decreasing the g - forces that the driver experiences.

According to Colello, magnets could extend the impact zone beyond the hard shell of players» helmets, slowing the collision down before it occurs, thus reducing the overall g - force that a player experiences — just like brakes on a car.

Shown at slow (top), medium (middle) and high impact speeds (bottom), the changing impact forces illuminated in each frame help explain why soil and sand get stronger when they are struck harder.

He's been focused on the study of impact - induced shear waves, which jostle tissue with relatively slow, side - to - side forces, in contrast to the better - studied compression waves that travel in the direction of impact at the speed of sound.

Changing my diet made the biggest impact in my healing process which forced me to slow down and start taking care of myself, starting with making all my own food.

[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

We have formulated a much broader definition of a tipping element, because (i) we wish to include nonclimatic variables; (ii) there may be cases where the transition is slower than the anthropogenic forcing causing it; (iii) there may be no abruptness, but a slight change in control may have a qualitative impact in the future; and (iv) for several important phase changes, state - of - the - art models differ as to whether the transition is reversible or irreversible (in principle).

Although sea - level rise typically is slow compared to many environmental changes, even this type of gradual sea - level rise may force other systems to cross thresholds and trigger abrupt impacts for natural or human systems unless adaptive measures are taken.

Slowing down in a school zone keeps children safe by reducing the likelihood of a collision and also by reducing the force of impact if there is a collision.
