Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greater the mass and momentum of the car, the greater the force required to bring it to a stop. This is because both mass and momentum contribute to the car's overall inertia, which must be overcome by a braking force. Additionally, a shorter stopping distance requires a greater force to decelerate the car in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
