The centre of mass of a system cannot change its state of motion, unless there is external force acting on it. Yet the internal force of the brakes can bring a car to rest. Then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

The car is stopped by the road

Option C (The car is stopped by the road) is correct because the external force required to change the center of mass's motion is provided by the friction between the tires and the road.
