Because inertia is how someone doesn't want to stop moving. Seatbelts relate by stopping the forward motion. thats right, inertia is an objects tendancy to resist change, seatbelts help to absorb some of the person's inertial energy by stretching a little. meaning the persons slows to a stop over a longer amount of time.

What does mass mean in science form?

Mass in science refers to the amount of matter in an object. It is a measure of the inertia of an object and is often quantified in units such as kilograms or grams. Mass is a fundamental property of matter and is distinct from weight, which takes into account the force of gravity acting on an object.

What word defines newton's first law of motion?

Inertia. This is the word that best defines Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.


What is the relationship between heavy objects an inertia?

Nothing specifically. Inertia is a proprety of matter (as you may know from the Bill Nye the Science Guy intro), and just because there is more mass to an oject doesn't really mean that it would have more inertia. However, other forces such as friction and gravity are spread over an oject, so there would be more friction due to the mass and more downwards force because of gravity + the mass.


What does inertia mean in science term?

state of an object mass times velocity.


Why do we wear seatbelts?

um well i think that science proved that if we are not wearing seat belts, and are in a crash, we could die, or get badly injured. Ages ago, three year olds sat in the front seat without a seat belt, and science shows that it was dangerous and IS dangerous for us to not wear seatbelts.


How is the term 'energy' defined in science?

In science, 'energy' is the ability of matter to overcome inertia and perform work.
