When I drive my 97 Honda Civic it makes a metallic high-pitched scraping sound much like the sound often heard when buses or trains stop. The noise stops as soon as I hit the brake pedal. Brakes?

This is most certainly your brake pads. On Honda brake pads there is what is called a squealer, a small metal piece that causes that sound you are hearing when your pads get too low. Your best bet is to take your car into a Honda dealer and have them replace your pads and check your rotors. Do not take your car into a midas or gateway because their pads will continue to squeal due to the metals they put in their pads. Also a Honda dealer will replace your pads if they start to squeal within their warranty period.

Bullet trains are stopped using a combination of regenerative and friction braking systems. The regenerative braking system converts the kinetic energy of the train back into electricity, while the friction braking system uses brake pads to slow down the train. This combination allows for efficient and controlled stopping of the bullet train.
