Newtons first law of motion talks about inertia, which means that if an object is at rest then it wants to stay at rest, if it is moving it wants to stay moving. (Constatnt velocity). Since the person is sitting still, when the plane takes off, the plane has more velocity & is "pulling" you towards the seat.

What force is a fictitious force that some people believe causes you ti feel as if you are being pushed outward from the center of a circle while traveling in uniform circular motion?

That refers to the centrifugal force.


If the world is spinning why are you not spinning?

Very important fact, that comes up in hundreds of situations . . . . . We never feel motion.We only feel changes in motion.Example: You can read or sleep very well in a car going 70 miles an hour, as long as thecar doesn't speed up, slow down, turn, or hit a rough spot. And have you ever been onan airliner, cruising along at 400 miles an hour and reading a book or taking a nap ?It makes no difference whether you're moving fast or slow, horizontally or vertically.You feel nothing until either the speed or the direction changes.On the spinning earth, you're moving almost 1,040 miles an hour at the equator, or730 miles an hour at the latitude of Chicago. You don't feel the speed in the directioneast along the ground, because it never changes. You do feel the force it takes tokeep you moving in a circle at that speed ... the force you call your "weight".


What kind of force is changing directions?

Centripetal force is always changing as it is a direct result as a change in velocity. This can be experienced when you drive in your car and go on an off or on ramp. You feel as though you are being pushed sideways.

You never feel steady motion at a constant speed. That's why you're able to sleep in a car and read a book on an airliner. You only feel changes in motion.


How many forces are required for a interaction?

An interaction requires a pair of forces acting on two separate objects. You can feel your fingers being pushed by your friends fingers. You also feel the same amount of force when you push on a wall and it pushes back on you. As a point of fact, you cannot push on the wall unless it pushes back on you.

You admitted you pushed your girlfriend away by being overly jealous which stems from being immature and insecure. Until you get help by a professional as to why you are so mistrusting and jealous then you will never get your girlfriend back the way she was.
