In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers. Wearing seat belts helps save lives. Describe how Newton’s three laws of motion are used in testing the safety of our automobiles

Answer 1

Try posting this in physics,hun.

Answer 2

Do you know Newton's Laws of Motion ?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Obviously if you're going to answer this question you need to know them. You can look them up on Google but this one time I'll tell you what they are ...

I.An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This law is often called
"the law of inertia".

II. Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).

III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Ok, so do you know how these laws could contribute to the testing of the safety of our automobiles ?
