Newton's 1st law (law of inertia) states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an un - balanced force. When you slam on the brakes, the car stops due to the braking force, but the backpack has inertia and continues moving forward, sliding off the passenger seat.
