Can Car Doors Be Opened When Submerged in Water?
1 Answers
Car doors cannot be opened when submerged in water. This is because the water pressure exceeds the force required to push the door open, making it impossible to open the door at this time. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Stay Alert: First and foremost, maintain a clear mind and stay calm, avoiding panic. If wearing a seatbelt, immediately unbuckle it. 2. Gradual Sinking: When a car first falls into the water, the interior does not flood immediately; it is a gradual sinking process. During this time, water will slowly seep into the car through gaps. It takes approximately 2 minutes for the car to fill with water. Utilize this time to make an accurate judgment about the subsequent self-rescue measures.
