How much force is required to stop a train moving at 60mph?
depends on the mass of the train
When a train is moving down a track what property makes it hard to stop?
The property that makes it hard to stop a moving train is its momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on both the train's mass and velocity. The higher the train's mass and speed, the greater its momentum and the more force is needed to stop it.
What is the distance between Los Angeles and New York by train?
stop
Why does a stationary train appear to be moving?
Because there's no such thing as "really" stationary or "really" moving. If the distance between a point on one train and a point on the other train is changing, then a person on either train says that the other train is moving, and both of them are correct. A "stationary" train only appears to be moving if the train you're on is moving relative to that one.
Why trains do not stop immediately after applying brakes?
Trains do not stop immediately after applying brakes due to their large mass and momentum. It takes time for the brakes to slow down the moving train, and the distance needed to stop depends on the train's speed, weight, and the effectiveness of the braking system. Additionally, train brakes are designed to prevent skidding and provide a smooth and controlled stop.
How do you calculate the speed of a moving train?
You must know the length of a R.R. car. Time the trains cars as they pass from a given point to the next. Now you divide time into that length to get feet per second. Do the math to get miles per hour.
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.
If you are moving to the front of a moving train are you moving faster than the train relative to the earth?
Yes if the train is moving forward, you are moving at the train speed + walking speed relative to the tracks.
Why is it harder to stop a train than a car even when the car is moving faster?
The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back. The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back.
What do you do if your car is stuck on the tracks and a train is approaching get out the car and run?
If your car is stuck on the tracks, and a train is approaching- then YES- get OUT of the car and get off the tracks. It is not that the train engineer does not want to stop, it is that he CANNOT stop- it may take a mile or more in distance to fully stop a heavy train. You will lose the car, but you will keep your life.
What is the speed of a loaded freight train if it takes about one mile to make complete stop?
The average freight train is about 1 to 1.25 miles in length (90 to 120 rail cars). When it's moving at about 55 miles an hour, it can take a mile or more to stop However, in an emergency its about 300 feet
A train moving at 32.0 m s brakes to a stop in 22.0 s How far in m did it move while coming to a stop?
352 m
