Question

Why a vehicle slows down when brakes are applied?

Answer 1

Answer:

A vehicle moving with any speed can be slowed down by applying brakes.

Explanation:

The vehicle slows down when brakes are applied because, brakes act in the direction, opposite to the direction of motion of the car, rather the wheels of the car. This results in the "force of friction" to come into play. The "force of friction" acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the movement of the wheels, and thus this nearly equivalent force slows down the vehicle.
