As the time approaches the end of the braking, the force applied in opposition goes down to 0, and there's nothing stored up, as in a spring (it's instead dissipated as heat+noise). Over no period within the 6s is sufficient force applied to the car to push it backward, b/c contrary to the original question itself, there is not a "net" negative force as the questioner understood it (some "net" of both the force being applied against the car's movement and the force of the car's momentum/time). | |
