How monorail moves?
Same as dual rail : some form of power turns the wheels that hold the train up. It's just that you can design a monorail with side curtains that hide the wheels from view.
What force slows the monorail down?
Friction between the wheels and the tracks, as well as air resistance, are the primary forces that slow down a monorail. Additionally, braking systems in the monorail cars are used to further control and slow down the speed of the train.

Do monorail trains ru non magnets?
Typically no. They run on metal wheels (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn) or rubber wheels (Disneyworld monorail). The Germany Maglev Train is currently the only commercial system that uses magnetic levitation for it's trains. It is in use in Germany and China or high speed tracks.
Why is the monorail called monorail?
A monorail is just a one rail train above us instead of on the ground. It runs like a normal train except there are two wheels facing each other that run on either side of the rail. The rail and wheels have to be very strong to hold up the train thing itself, as well as its passengers.
What would happen to the monorail if there was no force of friction?
If there was no force of friction, the monorail would not be able to grip the tracks and would likely slide off or lose traction, leading to a loss of control. Friction is essential to enable the wheels of the monorail to maintain contact with the track and provide the necessary traction for movement.
