When the car stops, the person continues forward, st the same speed thst 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 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.
How does wearing a seatbelt affect the damage to a passanger in a car crash?
It keeps them from being ejected from the vehicle.
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 you get a citation for just not wearing your seatbelt does this affect your points?
Yes and No. Typically, only moving violations can add points to your license. However, not wearing a seat can get you seriously injured or killed. Buckle up; somebody out there loves you.
How does mass affect inertia?
higher inertia higher mass
How does inertia affect gravity?
Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Properties of matter affect inertia?
Mass affects the properties of inertia
How would zero gravity affect inertia?
Zero gravity does not affect inertia. The inertia of an object is an inherent property of the object and is directly proportional to the object's mass.
What force will not effect inertia if its force is zero?
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.
How does friction affect inertia?
