Newton's Third Law
Newton's Third Law states that every action force has a reaction force, equal in strength but in opposite directions. This law involes two objects and the action and reaction force happens simutaniously.
Why does Newton's Third Law relate to wearing a seat belt?
Newton's Third Law has to do with seat belts because when you are not wearing a seat belt and there is something in front of you such as the dashboard or the seat, you fly forward and you hit what is in front of you. When you hit whatever is in front of you, the object you hit, hits you back with the same amount of force you applied. This is called an action and reaction force. If you were wearing a seat belt, the seat belt would stop you from moving forward, which would stop you from hitting whatever is in front of you. The action force of you not wearing a seat belt would be you hitting whats in front of you with force and the reaction force being the object in front of you, would hit you back with the same amount of force.
