Question

Why are car seat-belts designed to stretch somewhat in a collision?

✓

Answer

Car seat-belts are somewhat stretchable so as to increase the time taken by the passengers to fall forward. Due to this, the rate of change of momentum of passengers is reduced and hence less stopping force acts on them. So the passengers do not get hurt.
