When a car begins to brake, the car is affected by many different forces. These include:
- Friction - When the brake pedal is pressed, the car's wheels act against the road, causing friction to slow down the car
- Gravity - When driving, gravity is pulling the car down, therefore pressing the car against the ground, making us slow down slightly
- Air resistance - When any object goes through air particles, they are slowed down slightly because of the extra force required to push past.
