Why does a person not wearing a seat belt in a car collision continue to move forward?
inertia (=
How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seat belt during a collision?
In physics, inertia means that though the car is brought to a sudden stop, the person inside will continue in a forward motion. A seat belt would restrain the person's forward movement and prevent the person being injured by the dashboard, or by being thrown through the windscreen. Air-bags are used in modern cars to also cushion against the effect of inertia.
If the dummy were not wearing a seat belt what force would cause it to go through the windshield?
Inertia
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.
A person in a head-on car collision who is not wearing a seat belt continues to move forward at the original speed of the car because of?
Inertia=An object in motion tends to stay in motion until it is acted upon by an outside force
Why should not wearing your seat belt be legal?
The person not wearing the seatbelt is the only one who risks getting harmed.
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!
How does not wearing a seat belt affect the motion of a crasch test dummy?
because you should excert the dummy
Can a person claim conpersation if not wearing a seat belt?
If there is no seat belt fitted to the vehicle, then possibly. If theres a seatbelt fitted and its not used, then likely no.
How does inertia explain why you should wear a seat belt in a moving car?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When a car suddenly stops, your body continues moving forward at the same speed due to inertia. Wearing a seat belt helps counteract this effect by securely holding you in place, preventing you from being thrown forward and reducing the risk of injury during a collision or abrupt stop.

Why are you pressed against the car door while going around a curve?
Inertia. You want to go straight, the car (door) [you should be wearing seat belt] is forcing you to curve.
