Stopping techniques are methods used to bring a moving object, such as a vehicle or a person, to a halt. Common techniques include using brakes in vehicles, which apply friction to slow down the wheels, and employing footwork in sports, where athletes use their body movements to stop quickly. In addition to brakes, other stopping techniques involve using barriers or safety equipment, like safety nets in sports or crash barriers on roads. These methods help prevent accidents and ensure safety by effectively reducing speed and stopping motion in a controlled manner.
