decrease (as the weight will remain constant) and hence an increase in the
magnitude of the normal force.
Toeneem. Die grootte van die vertikale komponent van die toegepaste krag sal
afneem (soos die gewig konstant bly) en dus ʼn toename in die grootte van die

4.5 (According to Newton First law, the car will be moving at a constant velocity).
When breaks are applied the seat of the child will continue in its state of constant
velocity (in the direction of the windscreen which can be fatal), when the child
is secured the belt will exert a net force in opposite direction that will accelerate
the child back to the safety position in the child’s seat.
(Volgens Newton se eerste wet sal die motor teen ʼn konstante snelheid
beweeg). Wanneer remme toegepas word, sal die kind se sitplek in sy toestand
van konstante snelheid bly (in die rigting van die voorruit wat noodlottig kan
wees), wanneer die kind vasgemaak is, sal die gordel ʼn netto krag in die
teenoorgestelde rigting uitoefen wat die kind terug na die veiligheidsposisie in
die kinderstoel sal versnel. (3)
