While riding on i-26 towards columbia, your mother slams on the brakes, to avoid hitting the car in front of her. both of your bodies lean forward. you are wearing your seatbelts. which of newton’s laws explains why this happens?

Hi,

Newton's Law of Inertia explains this action because the resistance of the seat belt allows the change in its state of motion. So because the change of speed, your body moves forward but is restricted by the seat belt.

Have a great day!
