A car is moving on a level road. If the driver turns off the engine of the car, the car’s speed decreases gradually and ultimately it comes to a stop. A student says that two forces act on the car which bring it to a stop. What could these forces be? Which of these two forces contributes more to slow down and stop the car?

The two forces acting on the car are force of friction and air resistance. Force of friction contributes more to slow down and stop the car.
