Can you train yourself to have a photograpic memory?
No . Photographic memory is given to us by God. However, memory capacity can be trained online. I recommend the b-trainika project, there are special Philatelist and Stargazer games that are specifically designed to train memory while playing.
Can a train go 100 MPH?
Yes. The Japanese bullet train, Shinkansen, has a normal operating speed of twice as much.
Which force stops a train when the brakes are applied?
Kinetic friction is the force that stops a train when the brakes are applied
When does a train's brakes start exerting force on the train's wheels?
Assuming that the brakes are not "dragging" they start exerting force on the wheels when they are applied by the engineer.

Advantages and disadvantages of traveling by train?

How is bullet train stoped?
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.
When were train brakes invented?
1772
What is the purpose of deadman switch?
It's an emergency cut off in case something happens to the operator. One example is the switch in the drivers cab of a train. So long as the switch is activated (by pressure from the drivers hand) - the train will move. If the driver releases the switch - the train automatically applies the brakes.
What do train conductors do if a car is on the tracks?
Tell the engineer to pull the brakes and honk the horn The Conductor has no way of knowing a car is on the tracks (unless the train is pushing backwards, an unlikely condition). The Engineer will use the horn and use emergency brakes as soon as he is aware the car is there. However, the train will almost certainly crush the car, depending upon type and speed of train. A freight train can take more than 1 1/2 miles to stop, and passenger trains can take more than half a mile.
Do you need a visa when traveling from Canada to the US?
Yes, if you are traveling by plane, train, or boat. No if you are traveling by road
What happens when you pull the emergency cord on train?

How safe is traveling by train?
It is very safe. Safer than traveling by car.
