Question

  1. how do seatbelts help protect passengers in a car during sudden stops, according to newtons first law of motion? seatbelts increase the cars speed to reduce impact. seatbelts apply an external force to keep passengers moving forward. seatbelts prevent passengers from continuing to move forward to inertia when the car suddenly stops, keeping them in equilib with the car. seatbelts make the passengers heavier so the car stops quick

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Según la primera ley de Newton, un objeto en movimiento permanece en movimiento a menos que una fuerza externa lo detenga. Cuando el coche se detiene repentinamente, los pasajeros tienden a continuar moviéndose hacia adelante debido a la inercia. Los cinturones de seguridad ejercen una fuerza externa que detiene este movimiento, protegiendo a los pasajeros.

Answer:

Seatbelts prevent passengers from continuing to move forward to inertia when the car suddenly stops, keeping them in equilib with the car.
