Forces — practice question

A car sets off from rest along a long, straight road. The engine provides a constant driving force. The diagram shows the horizontal forces acting on the car. The resistive forces are proportional to the car’s speed. Why does the car eventually attain a maximum speed?

  • AThe resistive forces decrease to make the acceleration of the car negative.
  • BThe resistive forces decrease to make the acceleration of the car zero.
  • CThe resistive forces increase to make the acceleration of the car negative.
  • DThe resistive forces increase to make the acceleration of the car zero.
