A cup is forgotten on the roof of a car. When the car begins to move, the cup does not move forward with the car. Instead, it falls off the roof. Why?

• The cup accelerated backward as the car accelerated forward, so the cup fell off the car.

• An unbalanced force caused the cup to move with the car, but gravity caused it to fall.

• The upward force on the cup increased as the car moved forward, so the cup fell.

• Inertia kept the cup from moving while the car moved forward.
