If you were able to keep the bake pedal depressed to a constant degree, the frictional acceleration would also be constant, and then suddenly drop to zero when the car stops moving. At that point, all the forces in play would be static (or possibly spring-like, as when the car recoils after stopping). That's exactly why this seems a little weird at first! | |

| Dec 6, 2018 at 22:17 | comment | added | Beanluc | You know that acceleration isn't constant? Is it a surprise that it's no longer negative when it reaches zero? | |
| Dec 6, 2018 at 21:09 | comment | added | zzxyz | @MasonWheeler - I believe the OP is referring to the wheels of the car (perhaps a good clarification), and what you're talking about is 1) the suspension unloading (as you brake the body of the car shifts forward a tiny bit on the suspension, and when the braking stops, so does that "leaning", and 2) the human body doing something very similar, that can create an illusory sensation of the car moving backward. | |
