In a collision you could be thrown forward and get "crowned" by the windshield. I saw many "crownings" as a kid! The head breaks through the glass then the body rebounds and the safety glass clamps around the head, it gets very bloody and some people even get partially "scalped". You are stuck until someone breaks away the rest of the windshield!

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.
Why does a person not wearing a seat belt in a car collision continue to move forward?
inertia (=
If the dummy were not wearing a seat belt what force would cause it to go through the windshield?
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.
When wearing a lap belt while driving your chances of living through a collision are as good as someone who is not wearing their lap belt?
twice as high
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.

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!
The top excuse for not wearing your seatbelt is?

How do you disable the seat belt alarm for a 2006 BMW IL?
By wearing the seat belt which is after all there to protect you. Having seen the direct results of someone who was not wearing a seat belt, I would strongly advise that you do so and then you won't have a problem with the reminder. However, if you do insist on not wearing it, the quickest way to disable the chime is to do up the seat belt aound the back of your seat.
