WHIPLASH
The Second Law of Motion states that if an unbalanced force acts on a body, that body will experience acceleration (or deceleration), that is, a change of speed. At impact, our body braces itself, reducing normal range of motion. However, the force of impact, as described by Newton, flexes and extends the neck beyond its normal range, thus injuring tissue and causing acute and eventual chronic symptoms: whiplash.
