Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.

How has understanding electricity and magnetism led to advancements in transportation?

Understanding electricity and magnetism has led to advancements in transportation by enabling the development of electric vehicles such as cars, buses, and trains that are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. This knowledge has also been instrumental in the development of high-speed trains and magnetic levitation (maglev) technology that can reduce travel times and increase efficiency in transportation systems. Additionally, electric propulsion systems have been used in spacecraft and satellites for propulsion and attitude control in space exploration.


What A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars combine.?

The momentum of the first train car is 30,000 kgm/s, and the momentum of the second train car is 0 kgm/s since it is at rest. When they combine, the total momentum is 30,000 kg*m/s. The final velocity of the combined train cars can be calculated using the total momentum and the total mass of the combined train cars.


Does a train use a push or pull force?

If the train is at the front, it pulls. If it is at the back, it pushes. Typically trains pull there cargo


How much does an entire train weigh?

The weight of a train varies between systems. How many cars in a given train? Also, the cars even in a single train can easily be different models or styles and can vary in weight. Lets just pick some rolling stock, shall we? In the instance of the NYC system, the R143 cars weigh about 85,200 pounds, or about 38,600 kilograms. Trains usually run from 8 to 11 cars. The math is simple, but (risking repetition) deciding what system, what cars are running on a given train and how many of them will cause a lot of variation if you crunch the numbers. A couple of links are provided below so you can poke around a bit. If we take a 10-car NYC Subway train with just that one car type (R143), that makes for an 852,000-pound train. That's 426 tons of train rolling down the trackway.

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

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


Write short note on maglev trains?

Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) trains are trains utilizing [electro]magnetism and superconductors to float train cars that would not require the use of traditional rails which are a source of friction in many current generation high-speed railcars.


Do the cars of a maglev train need to be connected?

No, the cars of a maglev train do not need to be physically connected like traditional trains. Maglev trains use magnetic levitation to float above the track, allowing for individual cars to operate independently while being controlled as a single unit. This design enhances safety and flexibility, enabling trains to accelerate and decelerate efficiently without the constraints of physical coupling.


How many passengers does the shanghai maglev train carry?

40 *Correction - Each maglev train is unique and may include any number of cars in its consist, but typically a relatively small number simply due to platform lengths and power limitations. So this number may range from 2 to as high as 20, but expect 2 to 8 cars depending on the system.


How many people can Maglev train can carry?

Maglev trains can typically carry between 300 to 1,000 passengers, depending on the design and configuration of the train. Some models have multiple cars and can accommodate higher capacities, while others may be designed for faster travel with fewer seats. Overall, the capacity can vary significantly based on the specific system and intended use.


What is principle of maglev train?

Magnetic levitation is the method used for maglev trains. In order to levitate a train, superconducting magnetic coils are used to completely expel the magnetic fields which will cause the trains to fly off its track.


Which cars do not have wheels?

Maglev, trains in japan and Germany that ride(float) by magnetic levitation.

What is a train?

Train usually means a series of connected railroad cars pulled or pushed by one or more locomotives.However, any thing that has several connected parts and is trailed may be so. In Australia, a road train is a tractor hauling several trailers.* Added - In the US, by regulation a train must consist of at least one locomotive type car and have markers displayed at the beginning and end of the train. A train may be on railroad tracks or a maglev system.


Inga was riding on a train that had 96 cars this particular train had one engine for every 24 cars how many engines did the train have?

If the train had 96 cars and one engine for every 24 cars, you would divide the total number of cars by the number of cars per engine to find the number of engines. So, 96 cars divided by 24 cars per engine equals 4 engines. Therefore, the train had 4 engines.
