Why do you get pushed back into the seat when a car accelerates but not when when walking in a flying airplane?

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!

you’re exactly right. we feel acceleration but not speed. It takes much more force to get something moving than to keep it moving.
