Question

Question 11 (1 point) A car accelerates from rest when a traffic light turns green. A cup of coffee that was sitting on the dashboard of the car falls into the driver's lap. The driver could rightly argue that the cup's apparent motion was due to its inertia. It had a tendency to stay still and the car accelerated from beneath it.
