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.
Why when an arrow is let go does it move forward?
Yes
Why does a person slide backwards when a car accelerates forward?
The person has inertia, the resistence to change in motion, so if the car starts accelerating forward, the person's body wants to stay at the same velocity as before, thus it slides backwards relative to the car. If there were no friction or a back of the seat to stop the person, the person would literally not move while the car moves out from under him, thus seeming to move backwards in the car while in reality the car is moving forward under the person.
Why doesn't an object move forward as a wave passes under it?
The wave is not strong enough to move the object forward. It just passes along under the object and goes on its way.

Assuming the other seat adjustments work, and the switch tests okay, remove the seat, turn it over and inspect the forward/backward mechanism. You will probably find something broken.

Can the seat track be extended to accomadate short drivers?
It'd probably be easier to move the tracks forward completely. Or mount the seat with a forward offset.
92 deville drivers seat tilt forward works will not go back or forward I cannot fit in it what should I do I swapped the passenger door switch and it did the same thing?
Sounds like the motor or gears have a problem. You can try to find the wiring and power the motor up in reverse manually. I had a problem with a seat in a Volvo and it allowed me to maually turn the gears to move the seat back itno a position where it was comfortable for the customer to drive. I then disconected the power to the seat motors so they couldn't move it by accident. I had to get inside the seat to do this.

How do you remove the seats on a beetle?
You need to be seated behind the front seat, move the adjustment leaver to move the seat forward in upwards position, and slide forward. For the back seat lift the bottom seat out, and you'll find two bolts holding the back rest in place. Undo them and your sorted.
How do you fix a power seat on a Chrysler Town and Country if the back of the seat won't move forward and the bottom tilts only if you turn the power knob just right?
I would look at the connector and see if it's loose or has a burnt wire. You should be able to take the side off of the seat and get to it.
