During movie night I watched the vow with my best friend. The scene where the main characters get into a car accident contributes to Newton's first law. Newton's first law states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless a net force is applied to it. While the car is in motion the passengers are moving at the same speed as the car. During the accident a net force was applied to the car to stop it from moving. However, one of the main characters go flying out of the car. This is because she is still moving at the speed the car was initially moving in before it was stopped. If she had her seat belt on that would have been the net force applied to her in order to stop her. 

Remember to always wear your seat belt .. safety first!
