A person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision will be thrown forward because it maintains forward motion
<h3>Further explanation </h3>In Newton's law, it is stated that if the resultant force acting on an object of magnitude is zero, it can be formulated :
then the object tends to defend itself from its state. So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<em> inertia </em>
The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.
In objects with mass m that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity
When we are in a vehicle that moves forward, then we will still maintain a state of forwarding motion. If our vehicle stops suddenly, then we keep moving forward so we will be pushed forward. From this point, the use of a safety belt serves to hold back our movements so that there are no fatal accidents or collisions.

Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"
Solution
part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude (
) of the orbit:
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude,
. So we can write
where
is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
part b) The orbit has a circumference of
, and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.
