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.
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 does a person in a car fly forward when they have a head-on collision if he or she is not using a seat belt or air bag?
By inertia: the property of a moving mass to resist the changes in velocity and direction.
What should every passenger in a car before it starts moving?
fasten his or her seat belt
Explain how the law of inertia relates to seat belt safety?
The law of inertia, simply put, in terms of seat belt safety means that on impact, the car that was going 55mph stops almost instantly, while the contents of the car, for example, the passenger continues at 55mph. Therefore, without restraints, the passengers slam into the dash at 55mph causing serious bodily harm.
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!

Do you receive points on your driving record for a seat belt ticket?
You should not since it is a non moving violation.

What is the problem if the timing belt isn't moving?

Can you use a prayer for judgment for a seat belt violation?
I have trouble understanding why you are praying in a moving car, but certainly, you can but it doesn't mean you should.
