Which of Newton’s Laws explains why it is important to wear a seatbelt in a moving car?

• Law of Gravity - an object attracts another object in direct proportion to their combined mass

• First Law - an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

• Second Law - acceleration of an object increases as the amount of force increases
