You should always wear your seatbelt just in case the car comes to an abrupt stop. the seatbelt will hold you in place so that your body does not continue moving when the car stops. what property of matter will keep your body in motion when the car comes to a halt? which of newton's three laws does this example most closely represent?

The correct answers are inertia and first law of motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law is also known as inertia.

Inertia resists the change in the state of the object.

If the object is in the uniform motion or in rest then it will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by the external force.

In the given problem, the seat belt in the car will hold you in place so that your body does not continue moving when the car stops.

It is due to the inertia. Therefore, Newton's first law represents the given example in the problem.
