What you know about inertia to explain why you feel pressed back into the seat of a car when it accelerates?
fairly straightforward. All bodies will remain in their steady state unless acted on by an outside force. A car will not move unless the engine drives it (or gravity takes it down hill) A car will not stop unless you apply the brakes (or hit a wall) So, a moving thing will keep moving and a stopped thing will stay stopped. When you are sitting in a stationary car you are also stationary (obvious) the acceleration is applied to the car and transmitted to you through the seat. As your body is hinged at the middle your bum goes forward with the seat, but your upper body is following the 'steady state' rule and does not begin to move forward until it comes into contact with the back of the seat. The seat is moving forward and you are not (for a short time) Therefore you feel pressed into the seat It is actually the seat that is pushing you.

What is a g in physics?
A "g" in physics is usually the force a person experiences when they are travelling at speed and change direction. When you are in a car and the driver takes a sharp turn to the right unexpectedly, everyone lurches to the left and probably say some unkind words. They have experienced a "g-force". Another example of "g" is when the driver hits the brakes firmly and you slide forwards off your seat. When the driver accelerates, you are pressed back into your seat by a mysterious "g-force". Fighter pilots experience the greatest g-forces. When they pull out of a dive, and have the blood drained out of their heads, they might feel three times as heavy as normal. That would be a three G pull-out.
