force & motion gazette
sir isaac newton would be in favor of seat belt laws because _

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When a car is moving, the passengers inside are also in motion. In the event of a sudden stop (like a collision), without a seat - belt, the passengers would continue moving forward (due to inertia) and could be thrown out of the car or hit the interior of the car. Seat - belts provide an external force that acts on the passengers to stop their forward motion, thus protecting them.

Answer:

Sir Isaac Newton would be in favor of seat belt laws because according to his first law of motion (the law of inertia), seat - belts prevent passengers from continuing their forward motion during a sudden stop (like a car crash) by providing an external force, protecting them from injury.
