        acted on by a resultant force √ The seatbelt acts as a net force √ which hold you
        safely in the seat.

        resultante krag daarop inwerk. √ Die veiligheidsgordel is die net krag √ wat jou
        veilig in die sitplek hou.
        OR/OF
        In an accident seatbelts hold you safely in place because of Newton’s First law of
        motion and inertia. √ When a car suddenly slows down the seatbelt acts as net
        force √ which helps the passengers from being hurt.
        In ŉ ongeluk hou die veiligheidsgordel jou veilig in plek a.g.v. Newton se eerste
        wet/traagheid. √ Wanneer ŉ motor skielik stadiger ry, tree die veiligheidsgordel

5.7     Newton’s third law of motion states that when object A exerts a force on object B,
        object B simultaneously exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude
        on object B. √√
        Volgens Newton se derde bewegingswet: as voorwerp A ŉ krag op voorwerp B
        uitoefen, oefen voorwerp B terselfde tyd ŉ teenoorgestelde krag van dieselfde
