The law of inertia, simply put, in terms of seat belt safety means that on impact, the car that was going 55mph stops almost instantly, while the contents of the car, for example, the passenger continues at 55mph. Therefore, without restraints, the passengers slam into the dash at 55mph causing serious bodily harm.

Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature Read steps 1 - 9 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation/activation programming procedure. The Belt Minder feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure: Before following the procedure, make sure that: ² the parking brake is set ² the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission). ² the ignition switch is in the OFF position ² all vehicle doors are closed ² the driver's safety belt is unbuckled ² the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If vehicle is equipped with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure.) To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt Minder feature while driving the vehicle. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT START THE ENGINE) 2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1 minute) ² Steps 3--5 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure will have to be repeated. 3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during Belt Minder warning activation. 4. Turn on the parklamps/headlamps, turn off the parklamps/headlamps. 5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled. ² After step 5 the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three seconds. 6. Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning light turning off, buckle then unbuckle the safety belt. ² This will disable Belt Minder if it is currently enabled, or enable Belt Minder if it is currently disabled. 7. Confirmation of disabling Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light four times per second for three seconds. 8. Confirmation of enabling Belt Minder is provided by flashing the safety belt warning light four times per second for three seconds, followed by three seconds with the safety belt warning light off, then followed by flashing the safety belt warning light four times per second for three seconds again. 9. After receiving confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure is complete.

Kate is riding in a car A dog darts into the road and the driver brakes hard to stop Kate wrenches forward but her safety belt holds her back Draw a conclusion about the effect of inertia on Kate?
Kate's inertial mass exerted a force on the safety belt, causing the safety belt to exert an equal and opposite force on Kate. It makes more sense vice versa, though. Kate's inertia caused her to continue to move forward even though the car was slowing down. The safety belt exerted a force back onto her to overcome this inertial force being applied on it by Kate.
How does inertia affect a person not wearing a seat belt?
As inertia is a tendency to do nothing, not wearing a seat belt (in a stationary vehicle?) will have little affect. Only if the vehicle is moving and suddenly stop, does wearing a seat belt become essential.
Is inertia the reason that we have to wear a seat belt in the car?
Yes, wearing a seat belt in a car is important because of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their motion, so when a car stops suddenly, your body continues to move forward due to inertia. A seat belt helps to restrain your body and prevent serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop or collision.

Would a seatbelt be inertia?
No. A seat-belt is not inertia. But if you are trying to ask if a seat-belt does anything with inertia, then yes. An example is, You are riding in a car at a high speed. Then out of no where, you see a red light. You slam on your breaks and jolt forward. your seat-belt helps you resist inertia by holding you back so you dont fly out the window. If you hadn't been wearing your seat-belt and have been riding at a high enough speed, and hit your breaks hard enough, you would fly out the window and crack your head open. So yes, a seat belt protects you from inertia. But, inertia can be good in some other cases that I wont get into. Remember Newton's first law of motion has to do with inertia. The short version of the law is, An object in motion wants to stay in motion, while an object at rest wants to stay at rest. If this helps at all, let me know on my message board. Thanks!

What is the definition of inertia and example of inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. An example is when a moving car suddenly stops, passengers inside the car continue moving forward due to inertia until acted upon by a force, like the seat belt or airbag.
