Contrary to popular belief, seat belts are not a cure-all for preventing injuries in car accidents. if you hit something, when the car decelerates, while your outside body is part of the car due to the seat belt, your insides still move forward at the speed the car was traveling. if you crash while going fast enough and the car decelerates fast enough, your insides will crash into the inside of your body (your liver collides with the inside of your abdominal wall, your heart/lungs collides with the inside of your rib cage, your brain collides with the inside of your skull, etc) just like your whole body would crash into the dashboard without your seat belt on, causing internal injury, even if the outside of your body doesn't come in contact with the interior of the car in any way.
Momentum! Car has momentum before an accident, this momentum is transferred to the person after the car has made an abrupt stop (accident).
If the seat belt pre-tensioner was activated during the accident, the assembly will require replacement.
A seat belt protects the passengers when you have a car accident.
Keeps you in the car and out of the windshield when you have an accident!
A few of the best ways to try and avoid injury during a bus accident: wear your seat belt if one is provided, and always secure loose items so they do not fall on you or fly at someone else in the event of an accident.
YES
They could slide out from under the belt in an accident.
An asteroid orbits the sun for the same reason that a planet does; it has angular momentum. Asteroids generally remain in the asteroid belt because that is the orbit which their momentum gives them; if they had more momentum they would orbit farther from the sun, and if they had less momentum they would orbit closer to the sun (or fall into the sun, if their angular momentum were sufficiently low).
Not necessarily. Impulse Fdt=change in momentum which could be written as mdv (constant mass, velocity changing) or dmv (changing mass, constant velocity - the so-called conveyor belt problem. Imagine a hopper filled with (say) coal is feeding the coal on to a conveyor belt. The mass of the belt increases with time, so a force has to be applied to it to keep it moving at constant velocity.
unbuckle the seat belt!

It is a simple fuse in the fuse box, if you have a manuel it will let you know which one. But keep in mind that this could affect any airbag system you have in the car. If your belt is not on the air bag system will not fire in an accident. (70.171.217.232)
