CANNOT BE HAND-DRAWN, YOUR ANSWER WILL BE MARKED AS WRONG IF EXPLANATION IS NOT TYPED

10.
A person places a cup of coffee on the roof of his car while he dashes back into the house
for a forgotten item. When he returns to the car, he hops in and takes off with the coffee
cup still on the roof. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between the coffee cup and the
roof of the car is 0.24, what is the maximum acceleration the car can have without causing
the cup to slide? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) What is the smallest amount of
time in which the person can accelerate the car from rest to 15 m/s and still keep the coffee
cup on the roof?
