Inertia. When an object is in motion it tends to stay in motion. When an object is at rest it tends to stay at rest. An example is if you are in a car going 50mph. You would also be going 50 mph. That is why you should wear a seatbelt on a vehicle, because when the car stops you need something to stop you.

∙ 9y agoThe first law applies in this case. The car and its contents are moving at a constant rate and everything is fine. When suddenly the brake is applied, since the human is not tied to the seat with nuts and bolts, it tends to keep moving forward at the same speed that the car was travelling before the brake was applied. Since it is rather unwise to tie the human to the seat with nuts and bolts, the next best thing would be to provide a restraining agent to minimize the forward motion of the body and yet give him freedom of movement to operate the vehicle. The buttocks of the driver are a bit more rigidly fixed to the seat (relatively speaking) than the upper torso. The whole body continue to move at the speed at which the car was travelling before the brake was applied, but the upper torso moves forward farther and faster. The shoulder belt tries to minimize this speed lest the driver hit the steering column. The lap belt provides the same function to the lower portion of the body.

Reaction about implication of the laws of motion on safety and precaution?
These are why helmets and seat belts are important. If you are not able to stop, you need something to protect you.
In tug of war you pull on a rope with 3 newtons and your friend on your side pulls on the rope with 8 newtons What is the force the other team will have to overcome to win?
The force the other team will have to overcome to win is the sum of the forces exerted by you and your friend, which is 3 newtons + 8 newtons = 11 newtons. So, the other team will have to exert a force greater than 11 newtons to win the tug of war.

You need to divide the number of grams by 1000 in order to convert it into kilograms then use the equation F=ma to work out the acceleration.

How does newtons first law of motion explain the need for headrests?
Newton's first law of motion explains the need for head rests because when a car drives when being in a state of non-motion, the passengers in the car will continue to remain without motion. The force of movement will push the passengers back until they compensate for motion. Since the head is likely to get jerked back quickly during this time, it explains the need for headrests.
