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.
Device to reduce injuries in motor vehicles because of inertia?
seat belt
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!
Why does a person not wearing a seat belt in a car collision continue to move forward?
inertia (=
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.
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.
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.
Why does your Honda seat belt release not work on a on incline?
It uses an inertia latch to lock the seatbelt in a sudden stop. On a steep incline the latch is locking due to the fact that the inertia latch is pushed forward enough to lock. This is normal.
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.
Why does your seat belt dinger come on while you have your seat belt latched?
Make sure you are not latching it into the buckle for the middle seat belt.
What is the Seat Belt Law?
