Question
mon 2/9 - show what you know - newtons laws
if you are in a car wreck and you are not wearing your seatbelt, what will cause you to go forward and potentially be ejected from the car?
force = mass x acceleration
acceleration
inertia
gravity
This scenario is explained by Newton's First Law of Motion, which describes inertia: an object in motion stays in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the car suddenly stops in a wreck, your body continues moving forward due to its inertia, as no seatbelt force is present to stop you.
