Friction. Oonce the train is clear of the track, there is no friction to slow it down.

What is electromagnet train?

You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.


Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?

maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.


How the maglev train help to reduce friction?

It floats, thus no physical contact ... except with air.


What is the force that lifts up and moves maglev trains?

It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.


Why is that a maglev train is faster than a normal train?

Maglev trains are faster than normal trains because they use magnetic levitation to reduce friction between the train and the tracks, allowing them to reach higher speeds. Additionally, maglev trains do not have wheels, which eliminates the rolling resistance experienced by traditional trains on tracks.


What type of train uses magnets?

The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.


How does a maglev train slow down?

Maglev trains slow down by adjusting the magnetic field generated by the track to create a resistance force that opposes the train's motion. This force acts as a braking mechanism, gradually reducing the train's speed until it comes to a stop. Additionally, regenerative braking, where the train's kinetic energy is converted back into electrical energy, can also help in slowing down the train.


Is hovercraft and a maglev train similar?

They are similar only in that they both aim to reduce the friction that come from the vehicle moving over the water or rails. The means is quite different. The hovercraft uses a cushion of air and the maglev uses the repulsive force of a magnetic field.


Does Italy have Maglev train?

no


What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?

The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).


How does balance effect the maglev train?

It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.


How do you people get on maglev trains?

They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
