Motion is how everything in the universe moves, movement of the solar system never stops and is constantly moving but at a very slow speed. There are three laws in motion that explain movement, they are the Newton’s three laws of motion named after Isaac Newton. The Newton’s first law states that an object that is a rest will stay at rest unless an outside force is acted upon it and an object that is in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force is acted upon it. This is also called as “inertia”, which means the property of an object to restrict its motion. Examples of inertia would be when a car is driving at a constant speed and instantly stops the person will fall forward if there is no seatbelt. The seatbelt is a safety device that is commonly found on car seats and aircraft seats, it is made from strong durable materials such as fabric, nylon or polyester. Cars that are manufactured are required to have seatbelts due to road safety laws. The law was introduced in the 1970s, it was shown that having seatbelts reduced the amount of road deaths. The seatbelt was invented by George Cayley in the 1800’s, the seatbelt appeared on planes in the 1900’s but was later developed to a three point seatbelt by Nils Bohlin. The purpose of seatbelts is to save lives during a sudden stop of movement. The seatbelt was designed to restrain the person from forward motion that may occur in a collision or a sudden stop. Wearing a seatbelt is the simplest way to reduce death or
1.Wearing seat belt saves many people.Seat belt use virtually eliminates the possibility of ejection from the vehicle.Wearing seat belt keeps you from being thrown from your vehicle..It keeps you from banging against parts of your car such as the door.It can also keep you not to hit to steering and the thing in front of you.Seat belts keep the driver and passengers from banging each other, a cause of real injury in some accidents.Airbags are some times useless if you are not wearing seat belt,you can be thrown from your car.If you has thrown from the car, you can be hit some parts of car.So people wearing seat belts can be illegal.
When the car is accelerating, there must be an equal force to cancel out the car's acceleration to make it come to a complete restrest. When the car hits a wall, the wall essentially is hitting the car as well. The acceleration of the vehicle and the force caused by the wall cancels each other out causing the car to come to a complete stop. However, the passenger without a seatbelt does not have anything opposing it. Therefore the passenger will continue to accelerate until it has a force to counter it and make it come to rest. To minimize injuries to passengers in vehicles, we must find ways to minimize the collision. What makes car crashes so deadly are that it happens so quickly, and that it occurs at high speeds. In order to minimize collisions, we must find ways to slow down our acceleration and give us more time to do
For the people who use the excuse that "They are just going around the corner" should realize that 80% of traffic fatalities occur within a 25-mile radius of your home and at a speed of 40 miles an hour. Buckling up to drive around the block is probably the best time to do so. Everyone knows that car crashes can cause death; yet because people do not buckle up all the time thousands of people still die in traffic crashes yearly. Seatbelts can save your life in a crash and can reduce your risk of a serious injury. Seat belts keep drivers and passengers from being ejected through windows or doors. This is important because your chances of being killed are five times greater if you are thrown from the vehicle. Thousands of people who die in car crashes each year might still be alive today if they had only been wearing their seat belts.
When you ride a car,and truck you have to wear seat belts. It’s such a common thing to do, you probably don't even think twice about it. And everyone knows why: Safety if you're ever in a automobile accident, seat belts can save your life and minimize the injuries.
Namely, the seat belt works in endless ways to shield drivers and passengers from potential danger on the road. For example, in her article concerning seat belts, Beth Orenstein mentions that in the case of a collision or accident, the seat belt performs an effective job by preventing drivers and passengers from being ejected out of the car, spreading the force out from the crash to avert any acute injuries, and helping the body slow down while the collision impact continues to affect the car (Orenstein 1). Furthermore, Tom Harris reinforces Orenstein’s facts in his own article and states that seat belts keep drivers inside their cars by working against inertia, which is “an object’s tendency to keep moving” (Harris 2). Thus, when a moving car comes to an abrupt halt, the human body is restrained by the shoulder and lap belts so as not to be hurdled out the window. Unmistakably, seat belts save thousands of lives each year and to make amplified use of this revolutionary technology can save thousands more. Given this, it is evident that the seat belt is not a mere accessory that accompanies any car; without it, fatal injuries are exceedingly probable and the risk of death is also drastically
With increased interstate speed limits, distracted drivers, and more vehicles on the roadway buckling up could be the most important seconds utilized each day. Far too many people are seriously injured or killed in vehicle crashes by choosing to not wear a seat belt. Wearing a seat belt has proven to reduce serious and fatal injuries in motor vehicle crashes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the leading cause of death in the U.S. among people between the ages of 1 – 54 is motor vehicle crashes (2017). History has proven a need for seat belt usage in the U.S. All but one U.S. state currently has a mandatory seat belt law in effect, however many drivers and passengers still choose to not wear one. This decision can have a tremendous effect on loved ones if killed or seriously injured in a crash. There is one sure way to increase the chances of seeing loved ones again. Wearing a seat belt reduces injuries and saves lives.
Preview of main points: First I will describe you the problems of not using a seat belt, then I will give some solutions according to my point of view and my research and Finally I will talk
Safety is the first thing that should come to mind when riding in a car. There are many advertisements that promote wearing a seatbelt all the time while driving or simply being a passenger. It has been advertised through images, posters, commercials, and through social media. Some images are more effective than others, because it uses a powerful meaning or song details. The reason tis due to many fatal injuries and deaths have occurring for not wearing a seatbelt. Injuries are also the reason behind those specific laws requiring to wear a seatbelt. It is it not worth sacrificing a life, especially that of life of a young child, because the injury could have been prevented. It is up to the reader to clearly understand the message to have an effective life.
Seatbelts contain two main parts, a lap belt and a shoulder belt and are secured to the frame of the car. They have been proven to reduce and prevent injury in the event of a car accident by keeping the passenger in their seat. In addition, seatbelts can extend and retract however, in the likelihood of a collision, the belt tightens up to hold the passenger in place so that they do not go through the windshield when the car goes to a sudden stop.
A truck driver who did not sleep well the night before, for example, may causes a serious for who did fasten the seat belt. Moreover, the use of seat belt is not just for those who are driving the car. One who is a passenger in a public vehicles also should use the seat belt since in this case also the contolling components are much less than the previous case and , hence, the possibility of injuries and death is higher, though being informed about the potential consequences.
Newton’s law of inertia states “…an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.” In the event that a person who is not wearing a seatbelt gets into a collision they will continue to stay in motion until they hit the dashboard, windshield or etc. The way to prevent injuries from occurring during a collision would be wearing your seatbelt as it stops the forward momentum.
Prevent ejection-Passenger vehicles are designed to keep people inside the vehicle where they can be protected. People thrown from a vehicle are four times more likely to be killed than those who stayed inside. One of the most common myths about safety belt use is that you are better off being “thrown clear” of a crash. Statistics prove otherwise. Contact the body at the strongest parts of its structure: For an older child or adult, these parts are the hips and shoulders. For an infant and young children, there is really no part strong enough, so the child restraint supports the entire body to avoid stress on any one part.
As was mentioned in the previous topic of crumple zones inertia plays a great part in car crashes. When a car comes to an abrupt stop the driver continues to move in the car’s direction, this is because of inertia the resistance to a change in speed or direction of travel. Newton’s first law states an object at rest will stay at rest also unless acted upon by an external force conversely an object that is moving will keep moving in the same direction and speed unless acted upon by a external force the external force being the seat belt. This is because the velocities of the car and passenger are independent. The seat belt spreads this stopping force over a larger area as a result preventing the driver’s body from hitting the windshield or steering
I have been on several car accidents that could have taken my life away if I had not put that seatbelt on. Seatbelts should be on every vehicle to provide protections to its drivers and its passengers. Car manufacturers should enforce the use of a seatbelt. How does a seatbelt provide protection? A seatbelt can be specifically helpful on a high speed crash.
Seat belts although they are the most effective safety device on cars must be made safer. Out of all people who died in car accidents, 63% of those were not wearing seat belts (seatbelts). This goes to show you the effectiveness of seat belt. Therefore automotive manufactures must mandate the installation of 5-point seatbelt on all cars. In all major race car organization such as NASCAR (National Association Stock Car Automotive Racing) they require these 5-point seat belt. Which is nothing more than a seatbelt that is buckled in 5 spots rather that the conventional 3.
