The answer depends on the mass of the train and the force applied by the brakes.


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.


Why trains do not stop immediately after applying brakes?

they're so heavy that it takes the brakes some time to dissipate all that moving energy.


When a moving train stops kinetic energy is changed to which kind of energy?

Heat, from the friction in the brakes.

How is bullet train stoped?

With brakes. A bullet train has wheels and those wheels have brakes attached, when activated these brakes slow down the train and bring it to a halt. Suprisingly enough, all trains with wheels have this system of "brakes"


How far does a subway train need to stop?

A train has brakes similar to a car at every wheel (friction brakes), and also can use its locomotive power to apply a braking force (called dynamic braking). If any train wheels lock-up (stop moving) the sliding wheels do not slow the train as quickly as they are designed to do. In the US, modern locomotives use computerized braking systems, as do passenger trains. Freight cars are limited to the friction brakes and often this is where you may see a set of train wheels lock-up when they shouldn't.

How do Transrapid Maglevs Slow and Stop?

Transrapid Maglevs slow down and stop using a combination of electromagnetic brakes and eddy-current brakes. Electromagnetic brakes work by applying a magnetic field to the track, which induces a current in the moving magnets of the train, creating a force that opposes the motion. Eddy-current brakes work by creating a magnetic field that interacts with the conducting track, generating eddy currents which create an opposite magnetic field that slows down the train. These braking systems work together to gradually slow down and bring the Transrapid Maglev to a stop.
