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.

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
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
Can you give me a good example of each of newton's laws plus inertia and conservation of momentum?
well, i can explain the law of inertia. Think of the I turned sideways as a seat belt, because the law is about the safety of wearing a seat belt. If you are in your car going 70 miles on highway and you stop, if you don't have your seat belt on then you are going to fly up.
Why should not wearing your seat belt be legal?

How does not wearing a seat belt affect the motion of a crasch test dummy?

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!
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.
Why do people not wearing seatbelts get hurt in collisions?
TRUTHFULLY it sometimes depends on the car accident he or she is in minor car accidents can be resisted with wearing a seat belt major collisions can cause a person to get hurt because of the seat belt resits
