If you are going to correct us on on a nuance, at least get it right. What you feel technically comes from the seat pushing you forward. Draw a free body diagram of your body when accelerating
If a balloon is floating in a car, and the car accelerates, does the balloon go backwards from the acceleration?? This was a junior level physics problem for my mechanics class
