When you take off in a jet aircraft, there is a sensation of being pushed back into the seat. explain why you move backward in the seat-is there really a force backward on you? (the same reasoning explains whiplash injuries, in which the head is apparently thrown backward.) ?

    I believe the correct answer to this is: No, there is no force pushing you backward.

    In this case, since the jet is pushing forward hence the person is also actually feeling the seat of the jet pushing forward. Due to Newton’s 3rd law, the person exerts an equal force back onto the seat causing him to lean backward.
