Inertia plays a role during a car accident by resisting changes in motion, causing passengers and objects in the car to continue moving forward even after the car comes to a sudden stop. To keep us safe, tools such as seat belts, airbags, and crumple zones are in place to minimize the impact force, restrain occupants, and absorb energy, reducing the risk of injury.
