Superconductors allow the train to 'float' on a layer of magnetism. Since there is no friction (as there would be with wheels on a track) - the trains can reach much higher speeds.

How do you calculate the relative speed of two trains passing each other?
If two trains are passing each other the relative speed can be found by adding the individual speeds of the two trains. This applies if the trains are passing each other in opposite directions. Should one be passing the other and both be moving in the same direction, the difference of the individual speeds would be the relative speed of the trains.
Which has the lowest resistance semiconductors superconductors insulator conductor?
superconductors, they have no resistance.
Is there a limit to maglev trains speed?
Yes. Apart from anything else, there is the speed of light!
When an object is accelerating What is its speed?
It will have increase in speed with increase in time
What is an increase in velocity called?
an increase in speed - velocity is another word for speed
Write short note on maglev trains?
Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) trains are trains utilizing [electro]magnetism and superconductors to float train cars that would not require the use of traditional rails which are a source of friction in many current generation high-speed railcars.
What kinds of trains are there?
speed trains and trains to transport people
Under what conditions do certain materials become superconductors?
Low temperature is a factor to increase electrical conductivty.
Can other trains in Britan and Scotland travel faster than trains in the High Speed 1?
No, the other trains in Britain and Scotland cannot travel faster than the trains in the high speed one.
What is important role of superconductor in computer?
Superconductors have the potential to drastically increase computer performance. They can increase the data transfer rates while reducing heat output.
When did high speed trains first start running commercially?
High speed trains are rail transport that utilizes technology to travel significantly faster than traditional transport. High speed trains first started to run commercially in 1964 at Japan, and were known as the bullet trains.
What controls the trains speed?
Older trains if they were steam depended on how hot the fire was and modern day trains have electronic devices
Does USA have high speed trains?
Yes
What speed do trains get up to?
as fast as they want

Which has the lowest resistance semiconductors superconductors insulator conductor?
superconductors, they have no resistance.
How is a high speed rail made?
High speed rail trains generally run on standard tracks that are continuously welded together. The trains are made to have better aerodynamics so that speed can be increased.
