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.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
When the car stops, the person continues forward, at the same speed that the car was travelling at. Into the dash, into the windscreen, maybe even THROUGH the windscreen and onto the road. Beat up, cut up and run over - not a good thing.
How does mass of an object affect the force it applies during a collision?
The affect of force on the object during collision is described by a quantity called momentum. It is defined as p = mv where = p is momentum, m = mass of the object and v is velocity.
How does addition in mass to a car will affect the collision point?
Gravity and mass are a direct modifier and multiplier and can contribute to a stationary collision point after the collision has taken place. The materials the vehicle is made of can also effect the collision point by which materials effect the mass of the moving object during impact.
During the interval of collision is the momentum conserved?
well i know momentum remains same before and after collision... But what about the period during which collision takes place?
What is transferred during a collision?
momentum
When law of inertia applicable?
law of inertia is applicable during circular motions,e.g. S.H.M.

Can wearing an Tampax during a period make you sneeze a lot?
No, it would not cause that. It is in your vagina, not nose. Therefore, it would not affect whether you sneeze or not.
What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?
Elastic Collision is the collision in which colliding objects rebound without lasting deformation or heat generation.Inelastic collision is a collision in which the colliding objects become distorted and generate heat during collision and possibly stick together.
Why can't the second bounce be as tall as the first bounce?
The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.
What happens during a covergent plate boundary?
Plate collision.
There are three collision that make up every collision what happens during the third collision?
The soft tissues of the passengers' bodies collide with the more solid parts of the body, such as the skull, ribs, or pelvis.
