Trains move by using electric or diesel engines to power the wheels through a system of gears and axles. The engines provide the necessary force to propel the train forward by turning the wheels, which grip the tracks and create movement.

What type of energy makes a train move?

Trains are typically powered by electrical energy. This energy is converted into mechanical energy to move the train along the tracks. Some trains may also be powered by diesel engines, which convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.


If you jump in a moving train will you then end up further back in the train?

No, you will continue to move at the same speed as the train, so you will not end up further back in the train. Your position relative to the train will remain the same.


How does a train get traction to move along the tracks?

A train gets traction to move along the tracks through the friction between the steel wheels of the train and the steel rails of the track. This friction allows the train to grip the track and propel itself forward. Additionally, the weight of the train pressing down on the wheels helps increase traction and stability.


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.


Have you ever experienced that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while you are at rest?

yes, a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest, because of relative term as motion & rest are relative term . Actually it is depend upon observer. Example- If a boy sitting in train, when he see a man moving outside the train, it seems to him that it is in motion.
