because car in size and in mass is lighter than a train so the fact that its weight can affect the force needed to stop it so its easy to stop a car than a train .

What is the minimum distance required to stop the train?

This depends upon the type of train, its tonnage. and the speed it is travelling. Passenger trains can stop much faster than a freight train. A passenger train at normal speeds of 60mph to 110 mph can be stopped in well under a mile, minimum distance as short as 2500 feet. A heavy freight train traveling at 40mph can take nearly 2 miles to stop.

Because it's easier for a bus to stop than for a train. (has to do with the coefficient of friction)


Why is it easier to stop a car than a train?

It is easier to stop a car than a train because cars have smaller mass and less momentum than trains. Cars can also use friction from their brakes to slow down more quickly than trains, which rely on more complex braking systems due to their size and weight. Additionally, trains travel on tracks, which limits their ability to maneuver or stop suddenly.


Why is it harder to stop a train than a car when a car is going faster?

More weight behind the train therefore longer stopping time.


Why is it easier to start or stop a car than a train?

A car is much, much lighter than a train, and requires less force both to go into motion and to come to a stop. Even though a train has many more sets of brakes and a much more powerful motor, the ratio of engine power to weight and braking power to weight is much greater in a car, allowing the car to go into motion and come to a stop with much less effort than what is required to do the same with a train.


Which of these vehicles moving at the same speed air difficult to stop a bus or a train?

Both are difficult to stop, since they are quite massive.


If your car is stuck on the train tracks and a train is approaching get out of the car and run?

Yes - and run away or toward direction train is coming from, if necessary. A train will crush the car, and may push it into other objects or plow it down the tracks, with the train taking anywhere from 500 feet to more than a mile to stop even after the collision. If you are in the car you will be severly injured or killed.
