Why a car stops moving:
1) You have pushed the brake.
2) Engine failure it is broken
3) You were not paying attention and ran out of gas
4) You got in a car accident
5) The terrain is to rough for your tires
6) The battery for your car died
7) LAst but not least your car has been turned off! (it cannot run)

Friction - Therefore you need power to get going.
Inertia - prevents the car from stopping, hence you need brakes.

I'd imagine as it's homework you should be saying "friction" as that's what brakes, wind resistance and tyres do to the car or somesuch.

pushing the brakes, when your car can't get thru a certain area, or if something in your car breaks (engine, battery, etc.) also, if your car runs out of gas

Lots of stuff actually; mud, empty fuel tank, broken axle, jammed wheels, loose tires, broken accelerator pedal, police (damn cops), ...... the list is long but I guess friction does most of the work.

pressing the brake pedal(middle pedal) activates a hydraulic pump which then (using liquid pressure) applies the brake pads to the brake disc

The breaks?

Friction is one answer. The other is Inertia (Newton's Law).
