<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>The Newton's first law of motion will be applied in this situation.</h2>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As mention in the question, the car was moving then every object inside the car was also in the motion state with the same velocity as the car had. when the brake applied on the car, the brake only stopped the motion of the car than the objects inside it. According to the first law of motion, due to inertia, the body keeps its state intact until an external force applies to change its state. Because of inertia, the coffee inside the cup was in moving state with the car. When brake applied the coffee spilled out of the car to maintain its state and spread all around. If the cup would keep out of the cup holder, It will move also forward on the applied brake.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
Law Incorporation [45]
D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
Acceleration (a) = change in velocity (v) over time (t), let's consider moving right is (+) and moving left is (-)
a = (vf - vi)/t = (-5 - +5)/t
a = (-10)/t
So even though the number looks the same from vi to vf, there actually is a negative acceleration of 10m/s/s.

an initially stationary box of sand is to be pulled across a floor by means of a cable in which the tension should not exceed 11
snow_lady [41]

a. Angle between the cable and the horizontal in order to pull the greatest possible amount of sand is θ= 19.29° b. weight of sand and box is M= 34 kgs where coefficient of static friction is 0.35.

An object experiences static friction when a force is applied to it; as a result, the object resists the applied force and stays at rest until static friction is removed. In kinetic friction, the frictional force opposes an object's motion. While surfaces at rest with respect to one another experience static friction. Static friction is defined as the difference between zero and the minimum force required to initiate motion. The minimum force needed to initiate motion or dissipate static friction is always greater than the coefficient of friction, which is the ratio between the force preventing motion between two surfaces in contact and the normal force holding them together. The Greek letter mu () is commonly used to represent it.
