A box slides along a rough concrete surface and comes to a stop. Which of the following best explains why the box comes to a stop? Options: it is the natural tendency of an object in motion to come to a stop, the concrete exerts a frictional force on the box that opposes its motion, there is no force pushing the box forward, so it stops, the mass of the box causes it to slow down

Back

the concrete exerts a frictional force on the box that opposes its motion
