Trains take a long time to stop because of their size and weight. The momentum of a moving train is very high, so it requires a lot of force to slow down and come to a complete stop. Additionally, trains rely on friction between the wheels and the tracks to stop, which can take a longer distance compared to other vehicles.

Why is harder to stop a train than a car even when the car is moving faster?
Trains have significantly more mass and momentum than cars, so they require more time and distance to come to a stop. Additionally, trains rely on steel wheels on steel rails for braking, which can take longer to slow down compared to the rubber tires on a car. The design and engineering of trains also play a role in their stopping distances.
An electric train is moving north at 100kph and a wind is blowing to the west at 10kph. Which way does the smoke blow?
What? Electric trains don't even have smoke
How can trains pull so much weight?
Trains can pull heavy loads because they have powerful engines that generate a lot of force. This force is transmitted to the wheels, allowing the train to move and pull heavy cars behind it. Additionally, trains distribute the weight of the load across multiple wheels, which helps to distribute the weight and make it easier to pull.
Why are trains so energy efficient?
Trains are energy efficient because steel wheels on steel tracks have low friction, allowing them to move with less energy compared to vehicles on roads. Trains can also carry a large number of passengers or freight, spreading the energy consumption over many units. Additionally, regenerative braking can capture and reuse energy, further enhancing efficiency.
Is it true the effects pf kinetic energy the slower and objecg goes the longer that it will take to bring that objecg to a stop?
Yes, that is true. The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its speed, so the slower an object goes, the less kinetic energy it has. This means it will take longer to bring the object to a stop compared to if it were traveling faster.
How long does the train from Frankfurt to Prague take?
There is no such thing as "The train" - there are scenic trains, local trains, express trains and so on. =The trip can take anywhere from 7 to 12 hours, depending on which you get.
What would a train engineer do if there was an obstruction on the tracks?
If at all possible if an engineer saw an obstruction on the track he would stop the train. Trains take quite a distance to stop, so they often wind up hitting the obstruction.
Can you take a train to an island?
Unless you want to stop somewhere along the way! Islands have water around it,right? So how do you expect trains to go in the water without messing up?
Why do trains not stop at every station?
A lot of trains do, but express trains skip some so that they can make the trip faster. This is often helpful for the people who are taking the longest trips, because they don't have to wait as long for all the stops in the middle. Sometimes there is even a separate track that skips certain stops, which the express line runs on.
How long does it take for a bigwhale to stop whining?
It may take years for a bigwhale to stop whining. Did you feed it some fish? That will stop its whining. however it will keep asking you so it will also annoy you.
How long does rebecca adlington train for?
she trains about 20 to 30 hours a week. she trains almost every weeks so you do the math.
Why does it take so long to connect to the LimeWire network?
limewire has 2 speeds, slow and stop!!
How long does it take to fly from Australia to Missouri?
About 19 hours with one stop.
Why do buses take so long to come to bus stops?
The constant bus stops they have to stop at makes it take considerably longer than by car.
What did they use to transport the kids from World War 2 to the country?
They tried to use the safest transport they could, so they used trains. they would stop and change the trains every hour so that if German bombers saw them they would not bomb that train :)

Does the celebrities have a privacy?
No they sure dont. The papparazi make so much money just to take pics of them so they wont stop for a long time if ever.
