The airplane is going much faster than the car. I’m a bit confused. I’m guessing it has something to do with acceleration vs constant speed but not entirely sure how that works.
Any explanation is appreciated!
In: Physics
You do feel it in a plane, but only when they release the brakes and accelerate up the runway for takeoff. The rest of the time the acceleration os gradual, assuming we’re talking about passenger jets here. Other planes may have other rates of acceleration. In a fighter jet, they have to wear a special G-suit due to the forces exerted from acceleration and changes in direction, otherwise blood can have a hard time getting to the brain fast enough and the pilot can blackout.
