Answer #1

As the coffee mug is dropped, its horizontal velocity equals the instantaneous horizontal velocity of bus. But by the time the mug reaches to the floor of the bus, the bus is slowing down, therefore distance moved by the mug is more compared to the distance moved by the bus.

Therefore, coffee mug land forward relative to the spot.
