Seat belts affect inertia by providing a restraining force that counteracts the body's natural tendency to continue moving at a constant velocity when a vehicle stops or changes direction suddenly. Inertia, a property of matter, dictates that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. By securing passengers in their seats, seat belts prevent them from being thrown forward or ejected from the vehicle during abrupt stops or collisions, thereby enhancing safety. Without seat belts, the effects of inertia can lead to severe injuries or fatalities in accidents.

How does inertia affect each person in a car that comes to abrupt stop?

Inertia causes each person in the car to continue moving forward at the same speed as the car before it abruptly stops. This results in the people inside the car lurching forward, potentially causing injury if they are not wearing seat belts or if there are no airbags. Seat belts and airbags help mitigate the effects of inertia by restraining and cushioning the passengers during sudden stops.

Why do the safety belts of your Pontiac Sunfire 1995 not stop if you pull them heavily?

Seat belts are called "inertia reel" belts which means that part of what activates them is not being yanked on by Mothra but the inertia caused by the car slowing down abruptly causes them to lock up. If you want to test your belts out, try pulling on them while braking hard at a stop light. I think you'll find they work just fine.
