I assume you mean at the same time? (Sounds like everyone else did.)
Alright, I'll be the party pooper.
First of all, the sneeze is much more forceful than the fart. But you'll still rotate because of the moment about your centre of gravity.
Secondly, it is IMpossible to do both at the same time (therefore my opening question).
In any case, the fart would not cause any appreciable movement (except others away from you) because of its low momentum, its angle of expulsion, and its proximity to your centre of gravity. Besides, unless you are butt naked, your clothing will obstruct the wind and dampen any "equal and opposite reaction."
But the sneeze would cause you to rotate backwards. The momentum of the sneeze and the greater distance from your mouth to your centre of gravity will result in an appreciable moment of inertia.
Again, I'd like to repeat: it is impossible to sneeze and break wind at the same time. The human body is not capable of compartmentalising the pressures needed for both to happen simultaneously.

It happens, because of the fact once you sneeze, you relax your sphincter muscle. Your question jogs my memory of a humorous tale from my college days: certainly one of our surveying academics informed us that as quickly as he had to pass into well-being midsection for a delicate bowel operation. After the operation, the well-being care expert informed him he shouldn't experience embarrassed if he got here across that he had to interrupt wind lots. He had in no way heard that genteel expression previously, and grew to become into feeling maximum uncomfortable, until eventually the guy in the subsequent mattress informed him: "whats up - it potential you may desire to fart!"

how hard does your head rock?
How much force does the sneeze generate?
How much force does your gas generate?
if you gave those forces and the hight/weight of the person.. someone could actually calculate an answer for you lol

zero gravity and a vacuum or just zero gravity?
you would spin in either but keep right on going in a vacuum

I was going to say why don't you try it.
But,if all you're gonna do is fart and sneeze then who the f*** would let you in their space-ship?
Interesting point! Are you wearing trousers?

I have no freaking clue, but I love your question. It is humorous and has something to think about.
THANKS
