Safety belts help prevent injuries during sudden braking by restraining the body, counteracting inertia. They keep occupants from continuing forward motion, reducing the risk of collision with the interior of the vehicle and distributing forces over stronger parts of the body.

When the driver applies a braking force to stop the motorcar, our body continues moving forward due to inertia. This can cause us to lurch forward, potentially resulting in injury if not restrained by a seatbelt.

We tend to remain at rest with respect to the seat when the motorcar is moving because of inertia. Our body moves with the car, maintaining the same state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Another name for Newton’s first law of motion is the "law of inertia." It states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Another name for Newton’s first law of motion is the “law of inertia.” It states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The tendency of undisturbed objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called inertia. This property resists changes in an object's state of motion unless influenced by an external force.
