    The document describes a car accident between a red car and a green car where the drivers crashed into each other. The driver of the green car was not wearing a seatbelt or using an airbag, while the driver of the red car had a seatbelt and airbag. As a result, the green car driver smashed their face into the dashboard/windshield, while the red car driver's face was cushioned by the airbag. The document explains that Newton's first law of motion states that objects in motion stay in motion, so when the cars stop during the accident the momentum of the passengers continues until acted upon by another force, such as crashing into the dashboard.
