Select all that applyWhich of these are true about safety belts?Multiple select question.Safety belts cancel out the force of impact.Safety belts reduce a passenger's mass.Safety belts cause passengers to decelerate.Safety belts provide a force.
Solution
The correct answers to this question are:
- Safety belts cause passengers to decelerate.
- Safety belts provide a force.
Explanation:
- Safety belts do not cancel out the force of impact, but they do distribute it over a larger area of the body, reducing the risk of injury.
- Safety belts do not reduce a passenger's mass. The mass of an object (or person) is a fixed quantity and cannot be changed by a safety belt.
- Safety belts cause passengers to decelerate because they prevent passengers from continuing to move forward when the vehicle stops suddenly.
- Safety belts provide a force, specifically a backward force that counteracts the forward force of the moving vehicle when it stops suddenly.
