​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes, Maybe . I have never experienced

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes ,it is because of relative velocity and frame of reference.

Explanation:

• Since you are sitting inside the plane ,you are in contact with surface of plane and your as a result in your frame of reference the plane would seem to be stationary and rest of things would be seemingly moving.
• But from the point of view of an observer standing on ground, you and your plane would seem moving.
• The point is everything is moving but it depends upon frame of reference chosen.
• There is no absolute rest ,as was sometime postulated by Sir Issac  Newton but later turned out to be false by Sir Albert Einstein.
• This is relativity.
• Same phenomenon can be observed while sitting inside a moving train, the train would appear to be stationary and rest of things outside your window would seem to be running in backward direction.
