Answer:

A driver without a seat belt getting thrown from the car in a collision is an example of Newton’s   1st Law.

Explanation:

  • Newton's first law is also known as Law of Inertia.
  • Law of inertia states that a body tends to remain in its state of motion or state of rest until an unbalancing force acts on it.
  • When a moving car suddenly collides with an object like a wall or other vehicle, it is acted upon by an unbalancing force which decelerates it and bring it to rest.
  • In this case ,the driver who was sitting in the car without a seat belt does not get acted upon by the unbalancing force and his body tends to remain in motion.
  • Due to this reason he is thrown away from the car.
  • If he had been wearing the seat belt then the seat belt straps would have applied an unbalancing force force on the Driver and brought him to rest along with car.
