Newton's First Law of Motion
Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by another force. An object at motion will stay at motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force. For example, if a soccer ball is sitting on the ground at rest, then a person comes up and kicks the soccer ball it will want to keep going unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
You may be asking what this has to do with seat belts. Well, if you are in a car crash and you crash into another car you will want to keep going but the seat belt acts as the unbalanced force so it will stop you from harming yourself. This event is very important to consider because you could be hurt or could be dead if the seat belt hadn't stopped you from slamming into the windshield.
