Why are you pressed back into your seat when a car quickly accelerates as the light changes from red to green?

your resistance to a change in motion or inertia does this. Your body is still at rest once the car is accelerating foreward. The same happens when the car stops suddenly. You keep moving foreward because of inertia.
Principles of Newtons Laws of motion
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Your body is at rest at a stoplight. When the car you are in accelerates an outside force (the car) is acting on your body accelerating your body along with it. Your body resists this acceleration because of its tendency to stay at rest. The resistance is felt as pressure against the seat of your car.

What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?
While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
