Why do naturalists suggest that we plant more trees?
Zolol [24]
Trees take in carbon dioxide and other gases that we cannot breathe in and gives us oxygen. It also helps other plants and animals nourish themselves. To some animals, trees are their habitat so by planting more trees, we are technically building a habitat for plants and animals to live in. It's also good shade on a sunny day.

ASHA 777 [7]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The <u>Newton's first law of motio</u>n will be applied in this situation.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

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.
