How does balance effect the maglev train?

It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.


Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?

maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.


Why is that a maglev train is faster than a normal train?

Maglev trains are faster than normal trains because they use magnetic levitation to reduce friction between the train and the tracks, allowing them to reach higher speeds. Additionally, maglev trains do not have wheels, which eliminates the rolling resistance experienced by traditional trains on tracks.


What type of train uses magnets?

The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.

What is the MAGLEV system?

The MAGLEV system is a train that runs on magnets. The train hoovers on magnets that force a way from each other. The ride would be safer than a normal train and run smoother. They are not used in the US because cities are far apart. They more commonly used in countries with cities close together.


How does the property of a maglev train helps to decrese friction?
