Why is a magnetic levitation train faster than a normal train?
A Magnetic Levitation or MagLev train can travel at a higher rate of speed than a normal train because the train does not make contact with solid material. It is suspended above the guideway by magnetic repulsion and only has the friction of air and inertia as a resistance to movement. The speed of the train is regulated by the frequency of the power applied to the magnets of the linear motor composed of the electromagnets on the train and in the guideway.
What type of friction is involved in train moving along a track?
Rolling Friction
How does friction affect the velocity of a train?
friction will act in the opposite direction to the propulsion force driving the train. so it will cause a resistance and so limit the velocity
How do superconductors increase the speed of trains?
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.
Which force stops a train when the brakes are applied?
Kinetic friction is the force that stops a train when the brakes are applied
Is a bullet train as fast as a electromagnetic train?
if your talking about the monorail V bullit train then probably not, the reason being the bullit train is on the normal tracks whil the monorail trains are floating so there is no friction between the train cars & the rails. even speed comes down to friction
When operating a model train does it have friction?
Yes an operating model train has friction.
Why do the hills of a coaster decrease in height throughout the ride?
The hills in the track of a roller coaster gradually decline in height due to the speed and friction the train of the coaster is receiving. As the friction of the tracks affect the train, it begins to lose its momentum. The heights of the hills decrease so the train can successfully make it from start to finish.

When maglev train is lifted which force reduce?
Friction. Oonce the train is clear of the track, there is no friction to slow it down.
What is the formula for horsepower needed to carry 6000 pounds at 55 mph?
I assume you want to transport this on a train, or truck, or something like that. There is no simple relationship. Basically, the only power required to transport something at constant speed is the power required to overcome friction (otherwise, with no friction, zero power would be required to maintain the speed.) However, friction on the road or rails can vary; air resistance can vary depending on the shape of the train or truck, and even on the wind.
What type of friction is involved in train moving along a track?
Rolling Friction
Why maglev train is faster than ordinary train?
Because there's no friction between the train and the track. In an 'ordinary' train, friction between the wheels and the rails takes a lot of energy to overcome before the train starts moving. In a Maglev train, the train itself actually 'floats' above the track on a 'cushion' of magnetic foirce. With no friction to slow it down, the train is capable of much higher speeds.
Why are levitating train go fast then normal train?
Less (rolling) friction.
When do participants in swmming maximize friction when do they minimize it?
you maximumize friction to train and when you compete you minimize it
If you are in a moving train and the train stops instantly would you hit the object ahead of you at the exact same speed the train was traveling or would there be some slight deceleration due to fric?
Yes there would be a slight acceleration due to friction and since you are asking this im sure you know why.
How does friction affect the velocity of a train?
friction will act in the opposite direction to the propulsion force driving the train. so it will cause a resistance and so limit the velocity
