Energy, Force, and Motion
7. Explain how a car’s seatbelt is related to the concept of inertia. A car that is moving stops due to an outside force (the brakes) but passengers bodies will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (the seat belt). without a seatbelt - If the car stops slowly, the passengers body weight is enough of a force to stop the motion of the passenger along with the car. If a car stops very quickly (the driver slams on the brakes or hits something), the passengers weight is not enough to stop their body and they will continue to move forward (toward/out of the windshield) because – An object in motion (or at rest) will remain in motion (or at rest) until acted upon by an outside force (Newton’s 1st law/The law of inertia)
