How has understanding Newton’s First Law of Motion helped increase car safety? Explain using two car safety features: seat belt and headrest. 3 sentences in 65 word length
Understanding Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force, has contributed to the development of car safety features. Seat belts, for example, prevent passengers from continuing in motion when a car suddenly stops, by applying an external force and securing them to the seat. Similarly, headrests provide support and prevent whiplash injuries by reducing the backward motion of the head during a rear-end collision.
