When the driver abruptly steps on the brake, the car's motion changes rapidly. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by another force. In this situation, your body is in motion because the car was moving. When the driver steps on the brake, the car decelerates rapidly, but your body tries to resist this change in motion due to inertia. Your body tends to continue moving forward with the same speed that the car was moving before the braking. However, the friction between your body and the seatbelt or the car seat provides a force that opposes your forward motion. This friction creates a net force that slows your body down. Although your body may move forward slightly due to inertia, the seatbelt or the car seat exerts a force in the opposite direction to prevent you from being thrown forward. Therefore, the friction and the seatbelt or car seat act as a balanced force to stop your forward motion and keep you restrained in the car.
