When an airplane accelerates during takeoff, passengers feel pushed back into their seats not because a real force is pushing them backward, but because their bodies resist the change in motion due to inertia; the seat actually applies a forward force to accelerate the passenger along with the plane, creating the sensation of being pushed backward.

Why You Feel Pushed Back in a Plane ✈️ | Takeoff PhysicsAdded:
Feel that push? It's like I'm pressing you [music] back into your seat, but I'm not actually pushing you.
As the plane speeds up, your body wants to stay where it was because of inertia.
[music] Your body resists sudden motion, so it feels like [music] a force pushing you backward.
I support you by applying [music] force forward, matching the plane's acceleration.
That push you feel isn't real. It's [music] your body resisting motion while everything moves forward.
