The document discusses inertia and car crashes. It notes that due to inertia, objects in motion will stay in motion and objects at rest will stay at rest. If a car crashes at 100 miles per hour, the humans inside will likely be thrown from the car or collide with interior surfaces, causing extreme damage or death due to the force of impact. Active safety features help prevent accidents while passive safety features lessen injury, and examples of preventative features that reduce accidents are proper tires, effective brakes, backup cameras, and night vision.

excerpt on car safety features. II. Inertia can make an object in motion continue to be in motion at the same velocity, as well as making an object at rest continue to be at rest. III. If a car crashes or collides with another car at 100 miles per hour, the humans inside the car will most likely fly out of their car or collide with their steering wheel, windscreen or dashboard, causing extreme damage upon the people. This is extremely lethal and is possible to kill. IV. Active safety features lessens the chance of having an accident, whereas passive safety features lessens the damage done to the people inside the car. V. Four preventive features upon lessening the chance of having an accident are good quality tyres that are inflated to the correct pressure, an effective brake system that would actually work properly, reverse cameras implanted in your car so that you can make sure you don’t crash into another car during your parking and night vision.
