Most high speed trains are electrically driven, deriving power from an overhead rail via a pantograph. The train has considerable aerodynamic drag, so that if drive to the wheels is reduced, it will slow down.
Thus, if you add power it goes faster, if you reduce power it slows down. This can be done manually, or by a computer.

How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The slow moving train has a much higher mass than the high-speed bullet, but the bullet has a faster velocity than the slow moving train so their momentum is the same.
What factors affect the drag force that acts on high speed train?
Air resistant
If a person in a train moving at high speeds threw a ball straight into the air would the ball continue at the same speed as the thrower or would it travel a different speed?
Assuming the train continues moving at constant speed, the ball would travel at the same speed as the thrower.
What are some science sentences using magnetic field?
This high speed train is elevated above the rails with a magnetic field.
What would an observer on the ground obtain for speed of a ball on a train?
Just add or subtract (depending on the direction) the speed of the ball (in relation to the train) to the speed of the train (in relation to the ground). The above assumes the speeds are not close to the speed of light; if they are, more complicated formulae are required.

What are the differences Between Japanese Shinkansens and European High Speed Trains in terms of how the train is controlled?
The difference between Japanese Shinkansens and European High Speed Trains is that the European High Speed Trains make use of European EC Directive 96/48 while the Japanese Shinkansens use an ATC (Automatic Train Control) system.
What does the tgv stand for in transportation?
Train a Grande Vitesse (High speed train)TGV stands for Train à Grande Vitesse (high-speed train)
What speed will a high speed train travel?
The high speed trains of Japan will nudge 200 mph.
What do the letters TGV stand for?
The TGV (French: Train à Grande Vitesse, "high-speed train") is France's high-speed rail service.
