which of newtons laws explains why a seatbelt is important in a car? a newtons first law b newtons third law c newtons second law
Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. In a car, during a sudden stop or collision, passengers would continue moving forward due to inertia without a seat - belt. The seat - belt provides the external force to stop the passenger's forward motion, thus protecting them.
